TOTA – Towers On The Air
 

Discover Belgium's Lookout Towers. Explore the Outdoors. Get On The Air.
 

Towers On The Air (TOTA) is an international amateur radio programme that encourages radio amateurs to activate and chase lookout towers while enjoying portable operation in the great outdoors.
 

Originally created in the Czech Republic, TOTA has grown into an international programme connecting activators and chasers across Europe and beyond.
In Belgium, the programme is proudly coordinated by Belgium Outdoor Shack (BOS!), bringing together our country's unique lookout towers and observation platforms in one exciting award programme.

Whether you are activating a historic watchtower, or chasing activations from your home station, every QSO contributes to a growing international community of outdoor radio enthusiasts.
