[COham] Colorado 14er Event - August 3rd

[Bob K0NR - email list]

**Amateur Radio operators from around Colorado will be climbing many of 
Colorado's 14,000-foot mountains /and SOTA summits/ 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 on August 3rd and see how many of the 
mountaintop stations you can contact on HF and VHF. 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. Event information is available at

*Starting in 2012, Summits on The Air (SOTA) is part of this event. *This means 
there are over 1700 summits that you can activate in Colorado, with a wide 
variety of hiking difficulty. This opens up the event to a lot more people and a 
lot more summits. See the new event SOTA page

Radio operators that plan to activate a summit should log their name and 
intended peak at the Ham14er Yahoo group 
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ham14er/>.This is also the email list for 
discussing the event and asking questions.
