SOTA Activation: W0/FR-009 (Ypsilon Mountain) N Colorado

Activating Ypsilon Mountain in N Colorado for Summits On The Air (SOTA).

Ypsilon Mountain (WØ/FR-ØØ9) is located in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) and is part of the Mummy Range. The Mummy Range is a sub-range of the Front-Range of the Rocky Mountains and consists of six 13'ers (and a slew of lower ones). Starting with Mount Chapin in the south-west, it arcs to the north-east and ends with Signal Mountain. Some of the more prominent peaks are also SOTA summits.

@DL9MDI Thanks Fred - then I achieved one of my goals.

I will be close to 'your' area in October - hope to activate some SOTA peaks in OE/VB country... Maybe a S2S??

@VA2SG You are always welcome - just tell we when... Thanks J.P.

@W4MPS Thanks Marc, glad you like them. Personally I consider the QSOs un-interesting (if there is such a word) compared to the rest. We all know how QSOs work/sound and I would rather show/present the gorgeous mountains around here and get other HAMs excited about the outdoors. I included QSOs before when I have not enough interesting footage (see Mt. Werner) :)

I will see what I can do for you in the future.

I want to go to Colorado.

Hallo Matt. Your video permits us to hike with you imaginary.

Matt, your videos are absolutely incredible. Great job. We'd sure love to see some video of you making contacts at the summit however. Perhaps your beautiful hiking partner could record some of those QSO's.

Keep 'em coming.
