Amateur Radio Fun in the Colorado Mountains

Amateur Radio operators from around Colorado will be climbing many of 
*Colorado's 14,000-foot mountains* and *Summits On The Air* (SOTA) peak 
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 the first full weekend in August and see how many of the mountaintop 
stations you can contact. The prime operating hours are on Sunday from 9 
AM to noon local time (1500 to 1800 UTC), but activity can occur 
throughout the weekend.

Now including *Summits On the Air (SOTA)*, which adds over 1700 
potential summits! If you aren’t up to climbing a 14er, there are many 
other summits to choose from (with a wide variety of difficulty). See 
the W0C SOTA web page at w0c-sota.org

Radio operators who plan to activate a summit should set an “Alert” on 
the SOTAwatch.org web site. To subscribe to the “ham14er” email list,

*Frequencies used during the event
*Activity can occur on any amateur band including HF and VHF. The 2m fm 
band plan uses a "primary frequency and move up" approach. _The 2m fm 
primary frequency is 147.42 MHz._  At the beginning of the event, 
operators should try calling on 147.42 MHz. As activity increases on 
that frequency, move on up the band using the 30 kHz steps. /Don’t just 
hang out on 147.42 MHz…move up! /The next standard simplex frequency up 
from 147.42 MHz is 147.45 MHz, followed by 147.48, 147.51, 147.54 MHz.
