Randy K5RHD and I activated Mt Sneffels on Sunday August 7. The route up Sneffels was quite busy. There were at least 20 other hikers along the trail that day. I set up my Alpha EZ Military vertical a

A number of summits had UHF contacts but I just lumped them into "VHF". VHF = >50 MHz HF =< 50 MHz Bob Witte / K0NR / bob@... / www.k0nr.com

I worked a few on 446 from Evans plus skyler had a 900 MHz contact.

Last call for 14er event logs... Bob Witte / K0NR / bob@... / www.k0nr.com

QSOes made on 222MHz and up in the 14er event can be submitted as contest logs for the August UHF Contest if QSOes were made between 1800Z Saturday and 1800Z Sunday. If you made QSOes during that time

It seems the FT-817 I have used on various 14er events, including Longs peak in 2003 bit the dust. Estimated output is about 30-50 mw. Thanks to the folks operating on other summits that were able to

On Sunday we operated from Monarch Ridge South. I plan to do a more blog posting later with photos of this easy-to-access SOTA summit. We had some equipment challenges (HTs not transmitting right) but

Hi all, I made it up Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle and Humboldt Peak this weekend! I wasn't as fastidious about noting which peak folks were on, so forgive me for any missing data. My log from Cresto

I went up to Pikes Peak on Sunday with KK6JQV. This was my first time doing this and I wasn’t really all that prepared. Still, it was really fun, and I was quite pleased with just how well my handheld

Saturday K0NR and KB9DPF operated from Pikes Peak. The summit was socked in all morning, cold and damp. We worked three SOTA summits: Crestone (14er), Shavano (14er) and Venable Peak (W0C/SC-008). We

I need a solution for a better logbook. I have been carrying up a small spiral notebook. Maybe I need to draw lines in it ahead of time for all the fields. When I was making VHF contacts, I had to set
