Novice, looking for more info and all things SOTA related in PNW.
I enjoy alpine climbing, motorcycles and qrp radios. Sota makes for a intersection for these pursuits.
I'm just getting started.
Interested in SOTA. spoke with someone years ago. would like to learn more!
havent participated yet. but wanting to learn more.
Just got my license a year ago, March 2016

There are 10 summits within 10 miles of my house.
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.
