Tech licensed and new to amateur radio.
I frequent the summit areas near me and I’m interested in applying my radio.
GIS specialist, ultra runner, mountain climber, PNW since 2007, born and raised in the Bay.
I've summited several peaks: Hood, Adams, Helens, Broken Top, Wheeler (NM), Elbert (CO). Next up is Washington in NH. New to Ham. Operating Yaesu VX6. Run ultra trail races and want to support with radio.
New to SOTA. Just getting my feet wet
I mostly activate while I am out 4x4 in my truck. I spend a lot of my free time in the hills so sometimes I pack my portable bag along with me. Currently the only rig I am carrying with me is my iCOM IC-7100 and I am mostly using a EFRW antenna
Hello friends! I go by my middle name, so call me Kevin. I'm just getting started in December 2021, and sticking with 2 meters until I get a little more familiar with ham radio. Right now I'm participating in some regional and local nets with a Yaesu ftm-6000r and copper j-pole. We first took interest in ham radio because of wildfires in our area. Several times we have lost all communications. So my wife and I studied to get our technician licenses, so we can stay informed and be of service when our community needs us.
I'm also looking forward to trying some Sota activations in the near future. I have enjoyed many mountaineering trips, but had no radio experience. The idea of remote activations and off-grid operating really sounds fun to me.
Happy New Year 2022! 73's -Kevin KK7CUO
I can't wait to get started, after the spring thaw. I will be studying for my General, so I can work HF from peaks near our homestead. I have climbed many peaks in the PNW, just new to radios. Very excited to begin this new chapter! Peace, Kevin

Licensed since March 2015 Enjoy operating from home and portable. My son KT7WWW was licensed this spring, and now we are having fun doing SOTA summits together. I usually take along both my sons- as of the time I write this one is 12, and the other 5 years old.
I enjoy activating summits with my 2 sons. It makes a great family activity. It's even more fun now that my oldest son has his license and can activate too.

Just getting started
I'm a long time computer geek with over 20 years in programming and low level data recovery from most operating systems. 25+ published Win32 applications, however now "legacy apps." I continue to program in web applications, JavaScript, and database development using both Schema and Schemaless backends (MongoDb).
Hobbiest in RC/FPV. Love hiking, the outdoors and taking long walks with the family and learning something new!

General on 6/10/20
I got into Ham to be licensed when running my RC equipment and discovered an interest in RF. Studying for my Extra now and enjoying experimenting with antennas.
So far I've only activated Dimple Hill (CC-118) which is about a 10 mile hike RT from my front door. Great trail and learned to refine my radio pack for the next trip. Activated over VHF SPLX.
I pack a FT-891, MFJ-901B, Linked dipole cut to 20/40. FT-3DR, Miady 8Ah LiFePO4 and rope!
Mainly running a home station. 2m/70cm
Usually make contact from home with operators activating summits. Plan to chase for now and activate in the future.
Retired operator with a long history of communications minus the AM/FM station engineer tack on the resume. Love the hobby, the clubs people and activity. There is not much for old Engineers with no place to go, and I’m here. Look forward to meeting everyone on all the bands!
DX SOTA?
I enjoy amateur radio, and have an interest in all things electrical.
New to SOTA
Obtained my license some time ago but one thing lead to another and I was away from Ham for many many years. Now I want to combine Amateur radio with another passion hiking. SOTA is it.
Have yet to activate my first peak.
