Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Activator Toolkit for SOTA

No. As of version 1.0.0, SOTA Magic is fully standalone. All mapping libraries are bundled with the plugin. No WP GPX Maps or any other plugin is required.

Primary method — Activation.Zone API: Queries api.activation.zone (by N6ARA) for a precise terrain-based zone polygon. Requires a summit reference in your CSV file. All time inside the polygon = activation time. Fallback method — Radius approximation: A circle of configurable radius (default 50m) around the highest GPS point. Used automatically if the API is disabled or unavailable.

Activation.Zone is a free tool by N6ARA that calculates the precise SOTA activation zone for any summit using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and the official 25m vertical drop rule. SOTA Magic integrates with their public API. No account required.

The plugin automatically falls back to the radius method. Statistics are still calculated; the activation zone will show as an orange dashed circle instead of a red polygon.

Only for the contact map's fallback location lookup. The contact map resolves locations in priority order: (1) Maidenhead grid squares in the Comments field — no QRZ needed; (2) S2S contacts via the free SOTA API — no QRZ needed; (3) all other contacts via the QRZ.com XML API. QRZ XML access requires a paid QRZ subscription — either the "XML Logbook Data" plan (~$35.95/year) or the Platinum plan. A free QRZ account does not include XML access. Contacts that cannot be located are shown in a "No location found" panel on the map rather than silently dropped.

Yes. If a 4- or 6-character grid square appears anywhere in the contact's Comments field, SOTA Magic will use it to plot the contact on the map. This works without QRZ credentials.

Yes. The Activator Toolkit block editor panel includes manual override fields for hiking distance, hiking time, activation time, rest breaks, and total time. Check the box next to a field to enable the override.

Yes. In the block editor, check "Activation Zone: Radius-based (API skipped)" in the Manual Overrides panel. Or disable the API globally in Settings → Activator Toolkit for SOTA.

Yes. Each Activator Toolkit block is fully independent. Multiple activations can appear on the same post or page.

Yes — Settings → Activator Toolkit for SOTA → Unit System. All statistics and the elevation chart convert automatically.
