An idea - we have POTA in the app and I was on 40m and the pile-up for a BOTA station was immense. Over here in Europe, we are nearer, at any time of day, to a so-called secret bunker than a brown rat!
So… how about BOTA being part of the same awesome POTA functionality in WRL?
Yours in radio,

That sounds great @G3LRC Once I get my secret Bunker built though will have to have a private QTH set. Seriously though sounds cool and there are Bunkers in the US also but don’t think there is enough to get that POTA attention, in the comments though we could just make a note it is a BUNKER. Be safe Mate. 73
Many thanks - this will really help with traction. 73, Dave.
If BOTA ever gets going in the States, I wonder if they will include private bunkers or just former govt ones? There is a great private underground bunker in Conroe, TX that was built in the 80s by the nephew of Madame Chaing Kai-shek. It had the capacity to hold a couple hundred people, had a brig, armory (including full-auto), medical and dental suites, dormitories, decon showers when you first entered, NBC filters for water & air, two 750 foot deep wells, two Cat powered generators, and on and on. It was a very impressive facility that is now an underground data storage facility. It resides under the highlighted area.
Where are we with BOTA? This needs implementing quickly in Europe as we see no reason to use WRL until it’s implemented.

@G3LRC Hey David
We are in the process of adding BOTA as well as MANY other activities all at once while we are going ahead with the additions of these new activities.
Thanks & 73

Hi
Just wondered if there’s an estimated launch date for BOTA?
Spot On. It’s hard to move away from Ham2k for logging due to this.
