Mountain goat

In my ongoing attempt to reach mountain goat status, I am trying to get a quadruple activation into my log.

I am offering two incentives to all chasers:

• A unique set of QSL cards for all stations contacting me on all (four) summits
• A ‘handful’ of real mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) wool.

To qualify, you have to spot me on SOTAWATCH (only the first spot per summit/band/frequency counts). Each spot counts towards the ‘grand price’…  The station posting the most spots will receive a small amount of wool in the mail. Delivery expected in September (as soon as I find a cooperative mountain goat). In case of a tie, the winner will be determined by the amount of power used for the contact (less=better).

Please provide screen-shots of your spots on SOTAWATCH via e-mail – I probably can’t make it back home in time to check the spots.

Here is my plan:

Date: 10 July 2013
 ~14:oo UTC - Squaw Mtn - W0C/PR-082 - 11500ft - 6 Pts
 ~16:00 UTC - Chief Mtn - W0C/FR-030 - 11709ft - 6 Pts
 ~19:30 UTC - Mt Judge - W0C/FR-047 - 10301ft - 4 Pts
 ~22:00 UTC - Genesee Mtn - W0C/FR-194 - 8284ft - 2 Pts

Frequencies:

• 14.3425-ssb +/- QRM
• 144.200-ssb (not for Mt. Judge)
• and I am monitoring 146.52-fm.

If I have coverage, you can follow my progress via APRS.

QRP (5W) only.
Equip.: FT-817 and vertical Buddipole, Tape-measure Yagi for 2m

Keep your ears/antennas pointed towards Colorado.

Thanks
