SUMMARY:Amateur Radio Fun in the Colorado Mountains [CO 14er Event]
DESCRIPTION:Amateur Radio Fun in the Colorado Mountains\nAugust 4 through 7\, 2023\nwww.ham14er.org \n\nAmateur Radio operators from around Colorado will be climbing Colorado Summits On The Air (SOTA) peaks and communicating with other radio amateurs across the state and around the world. Join in on the fun during the annual event by activating a summit or contacting (chasing) the mountaintop stations. \nThis event is normally held the first full weekend in August. Again this year\, we will add two bonus days to the Colorado 14er Event. The main two days remain Saturday and Sunday (Aug 5 & 6)\, while the bonus days are Friday Aug 4 and Monday Aug 7th\, for those SOTA enthusiasts that need more than two days of SOTA fun! Be aware that many mountaintop activators will hit the trail early with the goal of being off the summits by (1800 UTC) noon due to lightning safety concerns. \nThe 14er event includes Summits On the Air (SOTA) peaks\, which provide over 1700 summits to activate. (See the W0C SOTA web page or browse the SOTA Atlas.) The Colorado 14er Event was started in 1991\, about 19 years before the SOTA program was set up in Colorado. As SOTA grew in popularity\, this event expanded from just the 14\,000-foot mountains (14ers) to include all of the SOTA summits in the state. We still call it the Colorado 14er Event because\, well\, that’s where it all started and the 14ers are the iconic summits in the state. \nImportant: The recommended 2m FM frequencies have been changed to 146.58\, 146.55\, and 146.49 MHz\, to align with the use of the North America Adventure Frequency for SOTA (146.58). The National Simplex Calling Frequency (146.52) may be used as appropriate. There will be plenty of action on the other ham bands\, for more information see the operating frequencies page. \nResources:\nColorado 14er Event webpage – Everything to Know About The Colorado 14er Event\nBeginner Guide – For the first-time activator\nHam14er Groups.io – Discussion Group for the event\nColorado SOTA groups.io – Colorado SOTA discussion group \nColorado 14er Event Task Force\ninfo@ham14er.org
