For some contests, I've been doing a combination SOTA activation plus
VHF contest operation.
This is mostly when I don't have all weekend to seriously contest, it
makes for a fun outing.
Single Op Portable for the contest and a normal SOTA activation.

As a side bonus, you can also get ideas of where to schlep your radios up a
mountain and activate for some SOTA points. We always need more people
doing activations.

Don't know if this is old news, but I recently stumbled on a SOTA map
project that provides a nice tool for rovers and portables. Shows
terrain map with optional Maidenhead grid overlay; contour lines appear
at the usual zoom levels for Google maps.
I pull and zoom the map to my desired area, then go to the "Grids"
pulldown menu overlaid on the top edge of the map, and click the
"Display grid" checkbox with the "locator grid" radio button checked
(by default).
