People who wish to receive the PNW SOTA Newsletter
Born, raised & educated in the Midwest, I was drawn to the mild PNW climate and moved to Seattle in 2009. Only recently started getting into amateur radio at the recommendation of a friend/coworker (K7PJP). Looking forward to getting involved with SOTA!
So far, I've only had a couple of attempts to activate and have done a fair amount of chasing from home. I'm currently learning CW and hope to get more into activating in 2020.
rock climbing, mountaineering, and back country adventuring
Haven't done any yet. I want to try taking my QCX unit to the top of some things and see what i can reach.

Just finished (17th March 2017) 45 radiation and 6 chemo's to fight prostate cancer at 50, only 10% of men get cancer under 50, but about 80% of men get prostate cancer by the age of 80. Get your PSA tested mine should have been 1-4, it was 48 at 50, the last test has me less than 1 at 0.34!! Now I'm ready to go activate!
Just starting, my only radio at the moment is a hand held uv82. Just built a tape measure yagi for SOTA. Can't wait.
k7I/CU-333 and CU-297 are possibly going to be my first activations.
Recently upgraded to General and recently upgraded my qth station, leaving my 6 element yagi with nowhere but the mountains to operate in. So 1/1/2020 was to me my first SOTA adventure. 3 locked gates and 4 hrs of driving later. I am hooked :)
Mostly chasing but soon to summit.
Lifelong contester originally from Sask (VA5AA) ~ new to the SOTA concept, I look forward to getting involved and up a few trails!
I'm a SOTA newbie but I am looking forward to getting started!
New ham, new to SOTA, but hooked already.
Learning ham radio through SOTA. Picked up a second hand FT-817ND that is my main rig at home and summit. Looking forward to a summer of SOTA.
I had no idea SOTA was a thing but I’m an avid hiker and I enjoy amateur radio and some mastermind decided to combine them so I’m all in. I enjoy hiking the northern cascades and look forward to activating some peaks. I was excited to see my past haunts haven’t been activated and look forward to changing that.
I have an FT817ND and a FT3DR. I’ll use my sat antenna for 2M and figure something out on the HF. Look forward to helping chase as needed as well.
I enjoy electronics and building things. I founded the SnoCo Makerspace and have been a ham since 2004 after I got out of the USAF in South Dakota. I used to blog for years and do at a trickle.
My interest would be both activities but mostly activation in Snohomish and Skagit in 2020. I’d be happy to help however I can.
Hello. I'm a fairly new Ham interested in all things CW and QRP.
I love to activate.
Casual hiker, casual ham.
I hold a tech license and primarily use 2M simplex for SOTA activations.
I am new to Ham Radio. I received my General license in September 2018. I have been a communications technician for the Air National Guard for 16 years. I work there as a traditional guardsman. I work full time as a Firefighter/EMT. I just purchased my first HF radio. I am having a blast with it! I am running an Icom IC-706 MK2G with an end-fed antenna, it's powered by a lithium-ion drill battery. I enjoy the outdoors and have had fun taking HAM radio with me to places where I am miles from cell phone coverage!
No SOTA activations yet. I have climbed Mt Shasta

Just getting started in SOTA so most of my contacts will be via VHF for a while.
New to ham and interested in SOTA activities. Activating and chasing, starting with chasing to learn. I am currently a tech, studying for general. I live in the foothills of Mt. Hood, in Sandy Oregon.
I am new and wish to join this website to connect with and learn from local SOTA participants. Hope to make new summits and chase soon!
I am new to SOTA and am interested in getting started. I am currently studying for my General license and hope to work a few peaks before the summer is over.
