1 – May - 2017 1.1 Corrected summit positions
Change of RM for region MA. Summits were checked against MDT05 LIDAR. Accordingly elevations and positions were brought into better agreement. The following summits were retired to be replaced by slightly higher adjacent summits: EA6/CA-001 (replaced by EA6/CA-002), EA6/MA-008 (replaced by EA6/MA-068), EA6/MA-044 (replaced by EA6/MA-077), EA6/VE-001 (replaced by EA6/VE-002) In addition the following new summits were added: EA6/IB-012 to EA6/IB-015 EA6/MA-067, EA6/MA-069 to EA6/MA-076 and EA6/MA-078 to EA6/MA-081EA6/ME-003

1.1 Programme derivation EA6 SOTA is an extension of similar programmes already active in other countries. The summit database is unlikely to be complete. If you find a summit which you'd like to add to SOTA-EA6, or you find a mistake in this ARM please contact the Association Manager. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager.
1 See General Rules for parameter definitions
1.2 General information Regions are based on names EA6 Balearic 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 or designator • The summit must have at least 150 m prominence • 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 completed 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 EA6 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. If a summit is in private property or you need to cross private property to access it, you will need the owner's permission before attempting activation.
1.4 Maps and navigation The easiest way to obtain a map is to get online. The most common cartography for hiking is the Mapa Topográfico Nacional (MTN) published by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional. Many products, such as a 1:25000 raster (MTN25), can be now downloaded freely from the download centre of the Spanish Centro Nacional de Información Geográfica
or also from http://www.ign.es/iberpix/visoriberpix/visorign.html 1.5 Safety considerations
Before hiking always consult a weather forecast. Please remember that weather in the mountains can change rapidly and you should be always prepared for snow, rain, strong wind or intensive sun, especially over 1000 metres a.s.l. In case of emergency you should call 112, the universal emergency number for all EU member states.
1.6 Foreign HAMs in EA6 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 “EA6/” (EA is the main prefix in Spain, other common prefixes are EB and EC; special event callsigns include ED, EG, EE, EF, EH, AM, AN and AO). Then you can add “/P”, “/M”. Second stroking isn't mandatory. If you'd like to transmit from Spain for longer than 3 months you should contact the Jefatura Provincial de Telecomunicaciones of the respective province in order to obtain a Spanish licence
