>> 2002 Colorado 14er Event
> Amateur Radio Fun in the Colorado Mountains
> Sunday, August 25, 2002
> www.Colorado14erEvent.org
>> Amateur Radio operators from around Colorado will be climbing many
> of Colorado's 14,000-foot mountains to set up amateur radio stations
> in an effort to communicate with other radio amateurs across the
> state and around the world. Join in on the fun Sunday, August 25th
> and see how many of the mountaintop stations you can contact.
> The prime operating hours are from approximately 9 AM to noon
> local time (1500 to 1800 UTC), but activity may occur at other
> times during the day. Most mountaintop stations will be running
> low power handheld radios. Stations running high power need to
> keep in mind that they can interfere with stations they cannot hear.
>> Radio operators with 14er hiking experience who wish to
> participate should indicate their intent at
> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ham14er/, send an e-mail
> to [email protected] or contact Bob K�NR,
> (719) 488-0859. To subscribe to the event mailing list,
> visit the yahoo groups site.
>> Frequencies used during the event
> The 2M FM band plan uses a "primary frequency and QSY up"
> approach. Frequencies are no longer assigned by mountain range.
>> The primary 2M FM frequency is 147.42 MHz. At the beginning
> of the event, operators should try calling on 147.42 MHz.
> As activity increases on that frequency, operators should
> move up the frequency using the standard channel spacing
> used in Colorado (15 kHz). The next standard simplex frequency
> up from 147.42 MHz is 147.435 MHz, followed by 147.45, 147.465,
> 147.480, 147.495, 147.51, 147.525, 147.54, 147.555, 147.57 MHz.
> As activity increases, operators should spread out on the band.
> As activity decreases, operators should move back closer
> to the primary simplex frequency.
>> This year, we are using the Colorado Connection Repeater system
> for passing information and coordinating the event. Be sure to
> share the repeater system with other users and
> DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM FOR GENERAL CONTACTS WITH MOUNTAINTOP STATIONS.
