This weekend of August 6-7 2016 there are a number of events going on - the big one is the Western North America Summit-to-Summit Party - see the link below for details and try "chasing" from a summit. Make sure to listen for the weak ones as they may be another activator calling! www.pnwsota.org/content/6-7-august-2016-western-north-america-s2s-party
There will be a good number of SOTA activations in Colorado for their 14er Event also - see the link above for info.
