UKBOTA

United Kingdom Bunkers on the Air (UKBOTA) is a non-competitive, community-run, awards scheme inviting amateur radio operators and SWLs to activate or log contacts from over 3000 bunker references throughout the UK.  Operations can take place on HF, VHF, or UHF, with activators and hunters earning awards based on verified contacts. UKBOTA is fully community-supported and funded, with development led by volunteers. We employ powerful mapping and planning tools, along with an advanced logging experience via our online BunkerBase platform. As part of the Worldwide Bunkers on the Air network, UKBOTA promotes historical awareness, outdoor operations, and technical skills in a friendly and inclusive environment. Whether you’re a seasoned operator or just getting started, UKBOTA offers a unique blend of radio, history, and community, both on the air and at in-person events.
