Licensed as a ham operator for Fifty years but inactive since 1986. Interested in constructing antennas for HF. Getting back on the air.
I want to chase SOTA contacts. I use a ICOM 718 with a end fed 133 foot antenna. It is vertically polarized.
Still a new HAM, loving every aspect! I enjoy APRS, Winlink and Ragchewing. Been active on 2/70cm and just got a HF rig to learn about the true Radio!
I’ve been into electronics since a kid, and have a background in car audio/Security and offroad vehicles and accessories.
New to SOTA. Starting out with a Yaesu FT-818, 16ah LiFePo4, Z-817, BuddiePole Deluxe Long.
I used to like scuba diving, now I like radios and other stuff.
I have no SOTA experience. I have a couple of dual band HTs.
Introduced to amateur radio in the Fall of 2018, I’m a relative newcomer to the hobby and have jumped in with both feet. My current interests include CW, QRP and SOTA, though I haven’t yet activated any summits. Hopefully that changes soon!
I haven’t activated yet, but I have two rigs—a QCX 40m and an FT-818 for CW in addition to a Yaesu HT + roll-up j-pole that I will use for FM activations. I do like trail running so intend to keep my pack nice and light.

My Elmer, k7gt told me about this. I hike a fair bit, have have been known to carry a lightweight HT (baofeng- judge me if you must) and want to help him get points.
new to ham, been hiking for a few years. Makes sense to combine them i guess
mostly activate, have a 8 watt hand held with a couple of custom antennas for now
I enjoy hiking and backpacking. I recently received my General license and look forward to doing SOTA with a portable HF radio.
Currently interested in activating on 2M. I am new to SOTA and am a member of the Island County Amateur Radio Club.
New HAM and love the outdoors. Hiking and camping in the Mt Hood National Forest.
Looking to activate new summits in my area. UV-50 and a J-pole on 2m/70cm to start.
I am a Pilot, Dive instructor, and Ham Radio enthusiast, I got into Ham radio to track my aircraft via APRS and to track High Powered Rockets, yet I keep finding new things to do with HAM
Just getting started, as I head toward 50 I want to keep myself in shape by being an activator.
I've participated in SOTA in the past and now, after moving to the northwest from the midwest, I am looking forward to some PNW adventures.
Recently activated Burch Mountain on VHF near my home in East Wenatchee, WA. I'm trying to get a feel for my new area. I activate with a KX3 and a wire vertical. Chasing from home has not been very good because of local terrain. Bring on the sunspots!
Oregon native. Just a little outdoor-crazy.
It's all new to me. Not much gear yet, just a Yaesu 5w ht for summits.
