Amateur Radio operators from around Colorado will be climbing many of
Colorado's 14,000-foot mountains to set up amateur radio stations in an
effort to communicate with other radio amateurs across the state and
around the world. Join in on the fun Sunday, August 12th 2007 and see
how many of the mountaintop stations you can contact. The prime
operating hours are from approximately 9 AM to noon local time (1500 to
1800 UTC), but activity may occur at other times during the day. Most
mountaintop stations will be running low power handheld radios. Stations
running high power need to keep in mind that they can interfere with
stations they cannot hear.

Two awards to encourage mountaintop operating throughout the year are
available. The Summit Award is given to radio amateurs that contact 10
or more peaks and the Pinnacle Award is for operating from 5 or more peaks.

Radio operators with 14er climbing experience who plan to climb a 14er
should log their name and intended peak at the HAM 14er Yahoo group.
