Hi Group,

Radio Shack has a nice headset No. 33-1171 on sale for $4.99.
It is made for computer use but I wired it up to my ICOM HT
and it works great! It has a 32 Ohm earphone and an electret
microphone so could probably be wired into most ham rigs. You
would have to add a switch of some kind for transmit keying.

Your group members may be interested in the SOTA concept. This is an
award that is designed to be used throughout the world and
encourages summit operating.

See it at http://www.sota.org.uk

Thanks Bob
Thanks, that's a good one for hiking.

Well, we will not be going out of state for any reason this summer (racing or
Jeff's next launch). We have been cutting low hanging tree limbs and cleaning
out ground cover.  Last week was kind of an awakening event though not very
close.
I did work the evacuation school near here and listened in on Forrest Service
briefings.

And now we have snow.

Still plan to make 14er on Bross.

Regards,

Walt W4HXC

Just a reminder that the signup system for the Colorado 14er
Event is on yahoo groups at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ham14er/database

We are using the Yahoo groups "database" feature to keep track
of where people plan to operate. Multiple people can sign up
for the same peak...but I'd recommend you either coordinate
your operation with the other people on the same summit or
find another summit. Two operators trying to use the same
band at the same time on the same peak pretty much guarantees
that you will interfere with each other.

If you don't have web access or just need help getting signed up,
ask someone else to post your intentions. I am happy to
assist with this...just send me an email.

There are 7 peaks signed up as of today.

14er Event List:

Greg KC0ADT and Eric KC0CAV both provided me with some info
on Yagi antennas that are built using tape measure material for
the elements....so they can roll up easily. This makes for a
very compact and portable antenna.

You might consider building one for the 14er event.
Take a look at the two URLs below.

Bob,
It is not my idea, but it is a great one. Here is the web site.
http://home.att.net/~jleggio/projects/rdf/snif_bm.htm
I like the fact that there is no long piece of metal to attract
lightening. I roll the tape elements and secure them for transport. It
works well, although perhaps not as well as an Arrow Antenna. Size and
weight in a pack are excellent. I now carry it on all hikes.

14er List:
I apparently have QST interested in running a short article or
announcement about the Colorado 14er Event. They'd like to have
photos to go with this. Anyone have mountaintop photos from last
year? (This is your chance to be famous.) I especially need photos
from hike-up mountains, with people, radios and/or antennas, etc.
(There are already some good drive-up photos from Bross on yahoo
groups.)

I need this by April 26th. Send me an email at k0nr@... if you
have a photo.

The 14er Event Task Force has been discussing the issue of
interference problems during the 14er Event. Basically, there has
been some adjacent channel interference from stations on one
summit to nearby adjacent summits. This has been particularly
noticeable on drive-up summits (with mobile stations running
higher power than handheld units). The biggest problem seems to
center on the Bross/Lincoln/Democrat area but other mountains
have been affected.

The Task Force mostly discussed two main remedies for this problem:
    1. Limit the output power during the event
    2. Change the band plan to move the drive-up mountains
       further away in frequency (down to the 146 MHz range)
       to increase the frequency separation between handhelds
       and high power stations.

After a very lively debate about the merits of these ideas, the
Task Force basically concluded to not change the rules of the event
nor the band plan at this time.

However, the Task Force did agree to:
    - Make participants aware of these interference problems, especially
      when stations run high power.
    - Remind participants that most of the mountaintop stations are
      running handheld radios with < 5 Watts of output power.
    - Remind participants that the FCC regulations say "use minimum
transmitter
      power necessary" to carry on a communication.
    - Encourage high power stations to avoid running more than 50W of
      power during the 10 AM to noon time window, which is prime operating
      time for the hike-up operators.

In summary, this is a "let's see if we can all cooperate and get along"
approach
to the problem. We agreed to try this...if the problem continues, we will
revisit the issue again next year.

For more information on this, contact a member of the Task Force, who are

    Bob KB0CY, Andy AA0CM, Chris KB0QQW, Dan N0TZL,
    Walt W4HXC, Greg KC0ADT, Jeff N0XDW

Molly,
Thanks for passing this along to the group.

I helped with this event a number of years ago and it was great fun.
Like the 14er Event, it represents challenges that are a combination
of technical, propagation, understanding the terrain, physical hiking
and 4WD vehicle operation.

Watching these runners go 100 miles through the mountains is impressive.

Folks,

I'd like to alert you all to an event that takes place in the SW Colorado
mountains in early July and that needs a cadre of radio hams who enjoy the
high, backcountry.  The event is the Hardrock Hundred, a 100 mile foot race
that starts and finishes in Silverton, CO and this year takes place July
12th
- 14th.  The race takes place almost entirely on obscure trails and tracks
in
the mountains, as the runners will wend their way from Silverton, almost to
Lake City, over the summit of Handies Peak and then on to Ouray and
Telluride, before ending up in Silverton again.  The time limit for the run
is 48 hours.

The only way this run takes place is through the efforts of radio hams who
work at each of the aid stations keeping track of runners.  Some of the aid
stations are hike-in ones and would be GREAT practice for the 14ner event.
The race is also an interesting technical challenge for amateur radio
considering the terrain.  Since the race started, there is now a permanent
2m
repeater in Silverton (partially supported with race funds) and we also make
use of a number of temporary 70cm and 2m repeaters.  Last year there was an
attempt at getting an ATV link from one of the aid stations to the finish
line.

If any of you are interested in volunteering for this event or have
questions, please contact me via email or phone and let me know.  I have
worked the race each year since its inception in 1992 (it was canceled one
year due to excess snow on the course!).  You might also like to take a look
at the Hardrock website at http://www.run100s.com/HR/

Hi All,

Our preliminary plans for the 2002 14er include not only 2m FM, but
also, we'll be trying 2m SSB.  6m FM, 6m SSB, 440mhz FM, 1.2ghz FM,
HF SSB & HF CW stations are also planned.  Oh yeah, we're going to
bring a signal mirror as well.  That will round out our Mt. Evans
station.  I don't know specifics on the HF SSB & HF CW stations in
terms of bands & such yet, but once we get that determined, we'll
publish them here.

I would like to see what others are bringing with them.  I realize
that the walkup/hikeup/campout mountains are not able to bring as
much gear with them.

Chris

Ham14er list:
I've added a Table to the "Database" section of the yahoo groups web
site called "Mountaintop Operating Plans". This is the signup
mechanism for the 14er Event. The idea is that each person indicates
their plans for the event, in particular what summit they plan to
activate, by listing it in this table.

If you don't have web access, anyone that is signed up for the
ham14er yahoo group can make the table entry for you.

Hey everybody!

In case you are interested, I created a new group today for people
that live in the Town of Superior, Colorado.

The URL for the group is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/townofsuperior.

Please let your friends in Superior know about it.

Take care and have a great day!

I don't think there was a problem with the band plan so to speak, but the
problem is with education with those who are operating, and trying to
contact the peaks.  The guys who are on Pikes Peak, or Mt. Evans, or other
peaks with their cars, don't really seem to understand how difficult it is
for those of us climbing the peaks, and how little time we usually have.
Personally I'd like to see a sort of "net control" set up on Pikes Peak with
a dedicated frequency up there, with someone listening all the time, and no
rag chewing.  When a peak is activated, there will be at least one station
with great coverage who can then relay the fact that the new peak is on.  It
would be nice to be checking in with net control from time to time while
climbing too, and a progress of some of the peaks could be updated for
everyone, or even for emergency reasons.  The other suggestion I would have
is to have an experienced operator doing the net control, and one who is
familiar with weak signal operations, or at least have someone experienced
listening, or helping out.  It took me quite some time to even get any ones
attention from Longs Peak this year, and I never did contact Pikes Peak.   I
had other "murphys law" stuff to deal with this year, but plan to be real
serious next year, including ssb equipment.

Paul,
Here's what I've heard (but I am interested in additional feedback):

   - the new band plan worked well for the most part (based on
     my scanning of the 2M FM band)
   - I've received some positive comments on the new band plan
     and have not received any comments suggesting we return
     to the old band plan
   - there was some "clogging" of the primary frequency, especially
     near the beginning of the event. We need to learn to spread
     out as the congestion builds.

Hi y'all!

Just a brief introductory message.

I'm 32 years old.  I've been a Colorado resident since August of
2000, at which time I moved here from California to start a new job
as a Software Engineer with a local Internet startup company.  On
April 26, 2001 I was very happy to close on my first home in
Superior, CO, and on May 7, 2001, just 11 days later, I was laid off
along with more than half of my colleagues.  Quite an inauspicious
beginning for a first time homeowner, huh?

Anyway, that's a little bit about me.  I look forward to interacting
with you in this group.

Best regards,

-Victor

Here is the "preliminary 14er event results".
Usually, I get additional information from people
and then publish a "revised final" version.

  In particular, did anyone catch the callsign of

I just uploaded the 14er Event photos that I have to the yahoo groups
page. If you have Internet access, you can look at them at
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ham14er/lst

You may need to register with Yahoo groups, if Yahoo doesn't already
know you.

Feel free to upload additional photos that you might have that relate
to the event.

Hey Dan and group,

I'm the other Jeff I guess.  Years ago, I organized an event here in
New Mexico with a group of 10-12 Hams and their HTs and beams to play
on top of New Mexico's 10K+ mountain peaks.  We called it the New
Mexico 10,000 foot Mountain Topp'n Handy Talk'n event. The NM10kMTHT
was great fun and we did it on the first weekend of June each year
for two years.  The third year, I changed jobs and the event
collasped.

I still try to keep up with what goes on during the Colorado event in
August and hope some day to be some where in Northern NM during your
event to make some contacts.

Thanks for adding me to the list over here at Yahoo.

Hi all,

I just got done moving everyone from the 14ers@... mailing list
into this Yahoo groups site, it will function in much the same way as
the other mailing list and you never need to visit the Yahoo site
although I encourage you to take advantage of the features offered
there.

We now have a place for files, photos and a much better way to
coordinate efforts.

Sorry about the folks I goofed up on, you don't need to reply to the
invite message as I subscribed you directly.  Anybody who doesn't
want to be a member of the group just follow the unsubscribe
instructions in the initial email or email me directly at
dhupp4@... and I will unsubscribe you.

The 14ers@... list will stay up but I hope that most of the
activity moves over here.  Right now everyone is subscribed to both
lists.  I envision this group as the get-together place to discuss
the event and make plans along with holding general information while
the other one will be used for announcments for the most part.

Welcome to our tiny (at the moment) group.  Now we have 2 jeff's & 1
Dan, that should be nice and confusing.  I'll be moving the mailing
list over here next weekend & that will add 70 folks or so, all at
various levels of confusion so things will probably get more
interesting at that point.

Don't recall talking to you but Jeff (N0XDW) & I normally hang out on
449.45 (103.5 tone) so maybe I will get to meet you at some point.
