Now this is just cool. This guy was just staring at me for about 5 minutes as his friends (some with big yellow radio tracking collars) crossed the street in front of us. I love seeing all the wildlife on the Peak.
Dad and I Drove up Pikes Peak today for the annual Colorado 14er Amateur Radio Event. I talked to 50+ unique contacts while we were operating from 9AM to Noon. I won't go into the awesome details because many of you have no clue what ham radio is... but I would encourage all of you to look into it and maybe get your licenses. Check out ARRL and start here for more info. getting your license requires reading through a pretty standard manual of various technical things and rules for talking over the air and then visiting your local library on a scheduled testing date to pass the test and get your license and callsign!

He look very intrigued by your presence. Sounds like you had a fantastic day on the Peak. HAM radio is still a muchly appreciated interest -- especially in times of national crisis, your role cannot be underestimated. Thanks for that information
