Retired fire service. Amateur Radio Operator since 1990.
I recently answered several activators on 2 meters from my home QTH in Prineville, Oregon. I would like to get more involved with both chasing and activating.
Enjoy mountaintops for both recreation and as a career in public safety/commercial Land Mobile Radio and microwave technical services business. Driving, hiking, snowcating or riding a helicopter to mountaintops never gets old!
Semi-retired now and have more time to play ham radio while on mountaintops. I've been on hundreds of radio sites while working in Alaska, Arizona, California, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming since 1979. Figured it was about time to slowdown a little, brings some extra radio gear and make some SOTA contacts while taking in the views.
Present goal is to activate restricted SOTA summits that have collocated radio sites that I either have access to or know someone that does in order to gain approval.
New CW op. Hoping to chase some SOTAs.
Would like to chase. Might activate some day.
Love being outdoors. I recently retired from my veterinary practice so I hope to be out and about more!
I got started with radio for use while off roading. Then I found out about SOTA! Yay a new hobby!
Avid hiker and trail runner.
Just getting into SOTA.
love the outdoors and this may get me there
I am literally just starting out
Retired Marine enjoying another hobby.
Climb what I can within my capabilities. Currently have a VX_6 and 891.
Outdoor interests include hiking, fishing, sailing and recently added SOTA & POTA.
Getting started with FT5D and IC-705 with EFHW antenna. Recently completed first activation at LC-103, Larch Mt.
Recently licensed (November 2024). I like to explore the PNW on foot or Jeep to find things: bugs, birds, plants, rocks.
Just starting. Will be using a Yaesu FT-65R...
I'm interested in getting into the microwave bands and activating summits in the area.
I became a ham for the third time a year ago. I was previously licensed in Alaska as KL7GSU in the late 60s and WL7QD in the mid-90s.
My current ham radio interests are HF DX and, more recently, SOTA. I am a retired fishery scientist/administrator who enjoys hiking so the SOTA activity fits well with my outdoor activities.
I acquired an Elecraft KX2 this summer and have had two SOTA activations so far this fall. Several more are planned for 2024 and I'm looking forward to next summer's hiking season to activate higher elevation peaks.
Long-time ham who also enjoys the outdoors. In recent years, I have been combining these two passions and I'm enjoying the new dimensions of both hobbies.
I recently discovered that there are SOTA summits in Capitol State Forest, a short drive from my home which I can access by car: Message Peak W7W/SO-078 and 1380 Callsign Peak W7W/SO-104. Since my backwoods roaming occurs by car these days, I'm excited to find other vehicle accessible summits.
Traded SoCal summits for the PNW, Oct. 2024.
I activate predominantly CW using a plethora of QRP rigs.
I am just starting to activate POTA and SOTA locations. I enjoy working in locations with no noise floor.
I have chased a few activations but I plan on activating summits this year.

I'm new to SOTA, but for now I'm focused on 2m FM around the Puget Sound :)
I'm an speech/audio signal processing and machine learning engineer, husband, and father.
I just started with some activations in the Indian Heaven Wilderness.
