[PPRAANet] Pikes Peak SOTA on Saturday

[Bob K0NR - email list]

Joyce/K0JJW and I are planning a SOTA activation of Pikes Peak 
(W0C/FR-004) on Saturday, from approximately noon to 1 pm local.

We'd appreciate a radio contact on any of these bands but I'd especially 
like to see what we can do on 1.2 GHz.
Look for us on 2m, then we can arrange other bands.

Being SOTA-compliant, we'll be using backpack portable equipment for 
multiple bands/modes:

2 Meters:

    146.52 MHz FM   25W FM mobile with vertical antenna or 3-element yagi
    144.200 SSB/CW FT-817 with 3-element yagi

1.25 Meters:

    223.5 MHz FM Handheld radio with small yagi

70 cm:

    446.00 MHz FM  5W handheld
    432.100 MHz SSB/CW  FT-817 with small yagi

23 cm:

    1294.5 MHz FM 1W handheld with 16-element/4 foot yagi

The weather is looking reasonable and the road is currently open.
This could change of course. Monitor Sotawatch.org for alerts and spots.

73, Bob K0NR
