"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 on this first Sunday of August 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 VHF radios. And some HF QRP" ....From www.14er.org

YES! Once again it's that time of year when Rooster & Peanut have to haul the 
OG's radio up a 14er! Just why we're not sure ...says, Peanut

But if you're looking for something to do on this coming Sunday AM please listen 
for us (Fred/KT5X, Guy/N7UN, Steve/wGOAT) at 1500-1800z on 14061 & 14342.5. 
We'll also try to selfspot on QRPspots.com <http://QRPspots.com> and 
SOTAwatch2.com <http://SOTAwatch2.com>.

Fred is some kind of crazy mountain runner in training for the Pikes Peak 
Marathon and will likely run ahead to the summit and setup his ATS3 with EFHW 
and begin to warmup the frequencies as wSOTA. He will likely be on as the band 
as it opens around 1300z or ?

Although the Ham-14er event is primarily UHF/VHF FM operation more stations than 
ever will be operating on HF this year ...this could be the beginning of 
something big?

You DO NOT have to be on a 14er to work another station!
Please join us for some fun QSOs!!
