MTN - Mountain Top Network
Version 3.0

INTRODUCTION
Mountain Top Network abbreviated MTN. Is the traditional use of Ham radio equipment on mountains, peaks and summits. To log QSO's and post a Flag at each location. Meaning it's a non-contest, points free, schemless Ham radio activity. Bench marked from original and traditional amateur Ham radio practice. This insures the MTN activity follows FCC and worldwide radio use guidelines - by not partaking in propagating RF, QRM and other interference that contests and points schemes produce. There are no points or virtual rewards. The goal of MTN is to collect and log real QSO's with other stations and post a Flag at each location. This instills and confirms proper station operation and operator procedures. Which allow members to focus on being more valid, mature and professional other than collecting virtual points and causing radio interference. 

MTN is a URL web based incorporation of resources for amateur licensed Ham radio operators. Who participate in mountain portable radio field operations. MTN is a QSO agenda based platform. A non-contest, points free format. This open source system is generated by a collaboration of users. Hosted by a global positioning system infrastructure. Rendered by a software company that specializes in wiki mapping systems. 

OPERATION 
Ham radio operators hike to remote mountain top locations of choice. In which they operate a amateur portable radio station. In order to log QSO's with other regional and distant DX amateur radio stations. When a QSO is made at a location, a Flag (Pin) can be added to the MTN map at that exact location. QSO's and data is logged with the Flag. Logs are kept as a dynamic record for both parties and other amateur radio operators to view.

What is CalTopo?
In its simplest form, CalTopo is a set of digital maps, and you can add and store location-based data to these maps. To use CalTopo effectively, there are a few basic principles you should know. 

There are two basics principles of CalTopo:

Base Layers and Overlays: Flexible, but non-editable background layers. Traditionally what you think of as maps.
* Maps: Geo-referenced data that you add by creating objects. In other words, a Map is the set of objects that you add at a specific set of coordinates, no matter what base layer or combination of base layers you have beneath.
* Baselayers and map objects are not attached to one another other than that they both represent a similar place on the surface of the earth. You can change which base layer is displayed as much as you want, combine it with other base layers, add overlays - but your objects will not change based on the background.
