Colorado 14er Event Operating Frequencies
***Feel free to expand your operation into other bands and modes***
2m FM Frequencies Most of the 14er hikers carry FM handheld radios, so 2 Meters can be very busy. Start out operating on the Primary frequency (147.42 MHz) and then move on up as the activity increases. Don't just hang out on 147.42 MHz !!!
147.420 FM Simplex Primary 2m FM Frequency
147.450 FM Simplex Alternate
147.480 FM Simplex Alternate
147.510 FM Simplex Alternate
What about 146.52 MHz? You may want to put a call out on 146.52 MHz, FM National Calling Frequency and common 2m FM SOTA frequency. However, we will completely overrun this frequency if everyone uses it during the Colorado 14er Event. So it is best to move contacts over to 147.42 MHz and higher, spreading out the action.
70 cm FM Frequencies The 70 cm FM frequencies will also be active due to the dualband handheld radios
446.000 FM Simplex Primary 70cm Frequency
446.025 FM Simplex Alternate
23 cm FM Frequency The 23 cm FM frequency may see some use during the event
1294.5 FM Simplex Primary 23cm Frequency
