Canary Islands SOTA is an extension of similar programmes already active in other countries. Much of the initial list of summits was based on the work of http://www.mendikat.net/modules.php?name=pais&pais=es#mapa
The summit database is unlikely to be complete. If you find a summit which you'd like to add to SOTA-EA8, or you find a mistake in this ARM please contact the Association Manager. Activators are asked to submit details of proposed additional summits to the Association Manager. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager.

1.2 General information
Regions are based on macroregions of physico-geographical regionalization of Canary Islands in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands
To qualify for a summit it has to meet the following requirements: The summit must be listed in the Hiking Map 1:50 000 with a corresponding Name The summit must be elevated at least 150 m from it’s surroundings In the case of doubt the Management Team will decide whether the Summit will be added to the list
The summit database does not claim to be complete and can only be changed by the acceptance of the Management Team. Summits cannot be counted for points until a launch date and reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager and approved
by the SOTA Management Team.
1.3 Rights of way and access issues
Footpaths in Canary Islands are usually well marked. Anyhow you should take a good map of the region where you want to hike plus GPS and/or compass if you have one. Never hike without a map, always follow the footpath. We (the Association team) don't know anything about summits which are private property. If you find one, you'll need owner's permission before attempting activation.
1.4 Maps and navigation
The easiest way to obtain a map is to buy one in the city or village which is closest to the summit. We are sure that you will be able to obtain one in almost every shop or kiosk.
1.5 Safety considerations
Before hiking always ask for weather forecast or check it i.e. on http://www.aemet.es/es/eltiempo/prediccion/comunidades?k=coo&w=&o=pais Please remember, that weather in the mountains can change rapidly and you should be always prepared both for snow, rain, strong wind or intensive sun, especially over 1500 meters a.s.l.
In case of emergency you should call using phone number 112.
1.6 Foreign Hams in the Canary Islands
Holders of CEPT Licenses are authorised to transmit according to their licenses and IARU Region I Bandplan. You should have a copy of your license with you.
You should prefix your callsign with “EA8/” (EA8 is the main prefix in Canary Islands). Then you can add “/QRP”, “/P”, “/M”.

1.7 Awards
There are no Association-specific awards at the moment.
1.8 Disclaimer
Hiking, hill-walking and rock-climbing are potentially dangerous activities. The SOTA Management Team and their associates assume no responsibility for accidents. Each participant does so at his or her own risk, and must decide, on the basis of their own ability, whether an objective is achievable. The listing of a summit in the reference does not mean that it is easy to reach, and it is always worth seeking local advice for all but the simplest of expeditions.
