[COham] W1AW/0 From Pikes Peak VHF/UHF

[Bob Witte K0NR]

The ARRL HQ station (W1AW) is making the rounds through the 50 states, 
as part of the year-long Worked-All-States operating event celebrating 
America's 250th Anniversary.
This week the station is on the air from Colorado, with call sign 
W1AW/0. Many Colorado hams are taking on the job of putting W1AW/0 on 
the air using their home station or operating portable.

Joyce K0JJW and I will be operating as W1AW/0 from America's Mountain, 
Pikes Peak on Sunday May 31st.
This will be a VHF/UHF operation that includes Summits On The Air 
(W0C/FR-004) and Parks On The Air (Pike National Forest, US-4404).

Date: Sunday May 31st
Operating times: 10 AM to 3 pm local (approximate)

Frequencies:
         146.58 MHz FM
         144.200 MHz SSB
         446.00 MHz FM
         432.100 MHz SSB
         50.125 MHz SSB
         50.313 MHz FT8

Our go-to band/mode will be 2m FM but we will also hit the other modes.
In particular, the SOTA program has a special challenge running in 2026 
that promotes 2m and 70cm SSB.
If there is sporadic-e propagation on 6m, that will certainly get our 
attention.

We really appreciate your contacting us, as we are trying to rack up a 
bunch of QSOs for the statewide W1AW/0 effort.
We will spend a lot of time on 2m FM and move around to the other 
bands/modes depending on propagation and level of activity.

We hope to work you on Sunday!

73,

Bob
