Just getting started in Ham Radio but I am an Eagle Scout and was a Scoutmaster for 10 years.
As I get gear I will want to summit around here and maybe else where.

My Elmer, k7gt told me about this. I hike a fair bit, have have been known to carry a lightweight HT (baofeng- judge me if you must) and want to help him get points.
new to ham, been hiking for a few years. Makes sense to combine them i guess
mostly activate, have a 8 watt hand held with a couple of custom antennas for now
I enjoy hiking and backpacking. I recently received my General license and look forward to doing SOTA with a portable HF radio.
Currently interested in activating on 2M. I am new to SOTA and am a member of the Island County Amateur Radio Club.
New HAM and love the outdoors. Hiking and camping in the Mt Hood National Forest.
Looking to activate new summits in my area. UV-50 and a J-pole on 2m/70cm to start.
I am a Pilot, Dive instructor, and Ham Radio enthusiast, I got into Ham radio to track my aircraft via APRS and to track High Powered Rockets, yet I keep finding new things to do with HAM
Just getting started, as I head toward 50 I want to keep myself in shape by being an activator.
I've participated in SOTA in the past and now, after moving to the northwest from the midwest, I am looking forward to some PNW adventures.
Recently activated Burch Mountain on VHF near my home in East Wenatchee, WA. I'm trying to get a feel for my new area. I activate with a KX3 and a wire vertical. Chasing from home has not been very good because of local terrain. Bring on the sunspots!
Oregon native. Just a little outdoor-crazy.
It's all new to me. Not much gear yet, just a Yaesu 5w ht for summits.
Radio and hiking are two of my hobbies!
Never activated a peak with HAM, but have hiked a number. Interested in possibly doing so in the future.
I have been an operator for 47 years. I enjoy working the bands from 160M through 1296 MHz. I work mostly SSB but occasionally CW. I am active on Winlink and APRS. I am an OES, VE, and ARRL Instructor. I enjoy teaching classes and workshops. I like getting new operators on the air. I enjoy helping new hams become familiar with their new gear and help them with their operating techniques. I work public service and community events with numerous groups. I am the current president of the Snoqualmie Valley Amateur Radio Club.
I like to answer SOTA CQ's. I have not activated a SOTA site. I monitor 146.52 MHz for SOTA activities and providing service for the Wilderness Protocol. I use a combination of Kenwood, Icom and Yaseu equipment for the VHF, UHF and HF activations.
