Well, somewhat to my suprise, I did not summit Massive this weekend. Most of the approach went O.K., the trip up the highline trail was steeper than I...
For those so inclined, don't forget this coming weekend is the June VHF Sweepstakes contest! If you have a 6m, VHF or UHF SSB radio - fire them up and get...
Hi all, Most of the serious contact activity is on SSB, as Nate describes. Its worth trying FM during the contest though. Unfortunately, 146.52 MHz is /not/...
You guys are gonna make me clamber back up and install a feedline on my 440 beam, stole it for my HF antenna when I upgraded so only have 6 & 2m beams working...
Thanks Bob, Thats good, I can switch back & forth between the 817 & 847 if I want then. Still trying to figure the 817 out so this would be a good chance to...
Dan, That does make me think...anyone that usually hangs out on FM but happens to have one of the SSB-capable rigs like the FT-817 or FT-100, etc., the June...
With the tremendous amount of 6 meter and 2 meter DX activity lately and if the bands hold up, this could be a great year for vhf contesting. I am sorry to be...
Have not heard you guys Chris but what a tuneup for 14ers, been running the FT-817 ragged on 6m SSB, think I have the radio figured out pretty well now. QRP is...
... You got signal reports?! Those ops weren't serious contesters! Giving signal reports slows your Q rate dramatically! (GRIN) In June VHF, I don't even...
Hi Folks, I'll be hiking up Grays Peak and Torres Peak tomorrow, 6/13/06. I'm headed up with some relatives from Oklahoma, so I'm not quite sure how long it...
I just signed up for Uncompahgre. There are now 12 records in the table. Don't forget to sign up yourself so that we know where to expect operators to be. ...
No its not a 14er but at 13,180' it should provide a nice spot to operate portable. I've run the profiles in N.G. Topo and it looks like a clear shot to most...
Hey Steve, I did not see a trip report. How was the climb. Where you able to summit? What where the conditions like (snow, temp)? I was thinking about doing...
... Yeah, congrats Bob! As I said in the other e-mail you... Well deserved! News travels fast, I've gotten like four copies of this from various places...
Eric, Great to hear of your plans. We always encourage everyone to operate from their favorite high spot, whether it happens to be above 14,000 feet or not....
I'm planning a backpacking trip into the Chicago Basin area this Saturday. I'm debating whether or not to bring my HT. Are there any repeaters reachable from...
I'll be climbing Culebra (a 14'er in Southern CO) on Friday and will have a handheld 2 meter FM radio with me. I know this peak is very far away from any...
Hi to all, Unfortunately there will be no 14er climbing for me this summer. I twisted the lower end off of my right fibula in a backpacking accident and will...
Sorry to read about your injury, Greg. Hope your recovery goes well and you're back to hiking next season. Maybe you can participate from home at least? 73, ...
Ron, I've been looking at the topo maps and it looks like it is about 120 miles from Culebra to Colorado Springs. This is not too bad but the path is blocked...
I will attempt to activate Mt. Massive on saturday, July 1. Will try 2 mtr. F.M. simplex on 147.420 with 6 watts & 5 el. yagi. Hope to top out by about noon....
Hopefully I will be able to sit on the top of a pass and operate from my truck. I'm just going to miss operating from a peak. 73 Greg KC0ADT ... [Non-text...
