Congratulations to Joyce/K0JJW for completing 1000 activator points while activating Pikes Peak today. She is my totally awesome hiking partner and spouse. Early on, she always hiked with me on SOTA a

I planned to activate 3 peaks Thursday July 30 and Sat Aug 1. I only activated one (FR-123), with 3 QSO’s and no activation points. A disappointing couple of days. Lessons were learned that I will mak

Heads up that Joyce/K0JJW will be activating Pikes Peak (W0C/FR-004) on Monday morning. This will push her over 1000 points to Mountain Goat status, using only VHF/UHF frequencies. Look for her on 146

Joyce/K0JJW and I made a long weekend of it with plenty of SOTA activity. Joyce is getting to within spitting distance of Mountain Goat (1000 activator points), so we tried to increase her total. On T

CANCELLED due to high winds. Gusts on the ridge to 24 by 0800 and 37 mph by 1100. The winds look lighter on Thursday, so we are postponing 24 hours at this point. Thank you all for your support and ho

We have some stations that will have 1.2 GHz FM capability this week/weekend. This is an opportunity to do some S2S radio contacts...I don't think there have been any S2S QSOs recorded on this band in

Our plan for "Colorado SOTA Week" is taking shape (Bob/K0NR and Joyce/K0JJW): Thursday - Double activation: Dicks Peak (W0C/FR-041) and Unnamed 10090 (W0C/SP-101), both south of Hartsel (I don't know

And here's my annual, stay off 146.52 MHz message.... Back in the early days of the 14er event, we just called on 146.52 MHz when using the 2m band. This quickly overloaded the channel which became a

I may be in the San Juans over the weekend of 1-2 August. Can someone please direct me to the starting frequencies that are anticipated for the event? I'm mostly interested in 2 meters FM, 20 meters S

Is there a file where people are entering their plans for next week? I thought I saw mention of one but I’m having trouble finding that mention again. I haven’t solidified plans, but I’ll be on the ai
