Summits on the Air (SOTA) is a worldwide amateur radio programme that encourages portable operation from designated mountain summits. In West Malaysia, the SOTA association is known by the prefix 9M2. Whether you are a licensed amateur operator or a SWL looking to explore the combination of outdoor adventure and radio operation, joining SOTA is both rewarding and accessible.

The 9M2 SOTA Association Manual is the official reference document for all Summits on the Air (SOTA) activities in West Malaysia. It outlines the complete list of validated summits, summit reference codes, elevations, geographic coordinates, and point values. In addition, it defines the rules and guidelines specific to the 9M2 region, in accordance with the global SOTA General Rules.
