Devoted to the spirit of Ham Radio and Summits On The Air (SOTA). Tuesday, October 25, 2016. Mt Garfield and Tuckaway Mt SOTA Activations. Every hike traveled I have learned something.

Approximately 4 miles to Mt Garfield from 7 Bridges parking lot. Approximately 5 miles to Tuckaway Mt from 7 Bridges parking lot (blue route). Pikes Peak from Mt Garfield ascent.

http://callingfrequency.blogspot.com/2016/12/portablemobile-on-mt-vaca.html
Adventures in Ham Radio. Thursday, December 1, 2016. Portable/Mobile on Mt. Vaca. Today I drove up to near the summit of Mount Vaca (SOTA W6/NC-151), put my Yaesu ATAS-25 antenna on the roof of my car, and "tuned the bands" to see what I would come up with. I didn't operate as a Summits-On-The-Air activation; I was operating from my vehicle- a SOTA no-no, plus I already activated the summit this year. I logged four contacts:. My trusty Yaesu FT-857D is ready for action in the back of my RAV4. Looking nor...
