I am off for a week-end trip into the Mountains. I will be hiking in a remote but gorgeous area of the Rocky Mountain NP at the border to the Neota Wilderness. Potential candidates for SOTA activations are:
W0C/PR-006 Lulu Mountain 3720 m/12205 ft 6 Pts DN70BL W0C/PR-061 Iron Mountain 3731 m/12241 ft 6 Pts DN70BM W0C/FR-128 Confluence Peak 3413 m/11198 ft 6 Pts DN70DL W0C/FR-131 10980 3340 m/10958 ft 6 Pts DN70CM W0C/FR-027 Cameron Peak 3689 m/12103 ft 6 Pts DN70BO W0C/PR-072 N Diamond Pk 3605 m/11827 ft 6 Pts DN70BM
I will make a decision on which and how many summits to activate after finding a suitable base-camp on Friday – I might activate a summit late Friday if finding a base-camp goes smoothly. Activations are probably between 16:00-18:00 UTC. Make sure the ask for the SOTA reference if you catch me on the air and a spot will be highly appreciated.
Bands/Frequencies:
20m: 14.3425-ssb / 14.285-ssb 17m: 18.1425-ssb
If I have coverage, you can follow my progress and status via APRS:
QRP (5W) only.
Equip.: FT-817 and vertical Buddipole
Keep your ears/antennas pointed towards Colorado.
Thanks

bold mountaineers... there are no old-bold mountaineers.
Hiking and mountain climbing are potentially hazardous activities particularly in Colorado with its extreme elevations. I am not accepting responsibility for any death or injury resulting from activations based on my trip reports. Proper training, experience, and personal capability assessment is required - enjoy!
