1) W7 S2S Activity Weekend and the Rocky Mountain SOTA Rendezvous:  This year on 2-3rd of August.  Last year we had the first W7 S2S Activity Weekend which was very popular.  According to W4ZV/Bill, over 500 Activator points were available during that weekend last year!  See the NA SOTA reflector message #18450 or http://goo.gl/Z9Qg22 for more information about the Rocky Mtn SOTA Rendezvous.  Note that this gathering is for anyone including chasers, activators, families and friends.  And is a perfect time to vacation in central Colorado.  The VE2 folks are also planning a "mega-Activation" to add to the fun!

2)  Colorado 14er Event and the ARRL UHF Contest:  K0NR/Bob has a lot of information about the Colorado 14er Event at http://goo.gl/5RVsV0  See http://www.arrl.org/august-uhf for the ARRL UHF Contest info.  Bring your 440 fm handheld or UHF rigs for a surprising number of stations on the air.

3)  NA QSO Party:  (CW) 1800 UTC August 2 to 0600 UTC August 3, 2014 (First full weekend in August) See full rules and info at: http://ncjweb.com/NAQP-Rules.pdf 

Upcoming Events:  NA SOTA Weekend on September 13-14th:  Lot's of discussion last year around having this event on the ARRL VHF Contest Weekend which is also the 13-14th of September.  Obviously there will be a lot of 6m and 2m activity and some Activators might want to camp out to participate in the VHF contest as well as SOTA.

Lets go have some fun!  Guy/N7UN
