Central Oregon outdoorsman. Grew up around ham radio through my uncle Dan, K7SS and grandfather Charlie, KA7NGA (silent key). Picked up my General license in May and really just getting started. I work in the maritime industry on ocean going tugboats so am often calling maritime mobile. I spend most of my off time seeking adventures in nature so I see some SOTA activations in my near future.
None yet. I have an icom ic-7000 and a backpack. Not the ideal rig but I'll be shopping for a better qrp setup. Interested in any advice.
I am an engineer that designs bodies and equipment for trucks and a new Ham.
I am interested in participating in SOTA activations with my kids. May not get many hikes in now, but when they get older, I would like to start making summits and contacts while sharing special memories with my kids in the outdoors.
General Class ham originally licensed in 1989
Activate or chase...training Scouts
First licensed 2009, my interests are homebrew radios, with an interest in getting into SOTA eventually. I got a KX3 in 2013 specifically with the intent of getting into SOTA (before the KX2 had come out).
I currently work at Microchip in Bend, Oregon as an electrical engineer.
I've been wanting to get into SOTA for almost 10 years now. Many initials have already been taken that I wanted to do, but I never dared without knowing CW. I know SSB SOTA is a thing, but SSB just hasn't been as exciting to me. Now that I've been taking CW classes and actually calling CQ during CWT/7QP, I'm a bit more confident and ready to make the foray into SOTA activations.
Just getting started in SOTA, look forward to doing some activations
So far only one activation completed, PNW S2S Party
Ham since: January 11, 2021.
Frequent voice modes - FM (2m/70cm), D-Star, DMR, C4FM
Cheers,
Ty
A new ham that is interested in chasing SOTA.
Originally licenced in the UK as G7VBV, I have lived and had an amateur radio licence here in the US for 25 years. My kids have grown up and have gone their merry ways, so over the last year I've become active again. I like PSK31, Olivia and Thor, but make plenty of contacts on SSB. I am a member of Lake Oswego ARES.
I'm just starting out. I want to connect my hobbies of getting out into the mountains with amateur radio.
NEW TO HAM RADIO, SOTA IS VERY INTERESTING ESPECIALLY FOR AN OLD CLIMBER

Fairly new to Ham Radio - New to SOTA activating.
I would like to activate. I will be using a Yaesu FT-60.
Search and rescue volunteer living in Southern Oregon.
Elecraft KX2 with PackTenna random wire on a SOTAbeams carbon 6m.
I live in Kirkland, Washington with my wife and four sons. When I'm not doing SOTA, I like to operate FT8 on HF.
I'm just getting started with SOTA. I have Yaesu VX-6R, Yaesu FT-270 and a Kenwood TH-D72A HT for portable operation.
Sysadmin with a passion for hiking and an interest in amateur radio. Recently acquired a built out truck, so challenging OHV trails are getting added to that mix!
Mt. St. Helens was my first ever SOTA summit, almost all of my activations have followed the same form of using a 5W VHF handheld to get all contacts. Only used a bit of HF, looking to learn more and grow in that area.
Brand new General have yet to do an activation but when I do I’ll post it here.
2m Fm till I get a new radio.
