True to its name, the Queens of the Mountains event is a challenge worthy of royalty. Paula K9IR and Amy AG7GP have brought the event back for its second year as YLs activate SOTA summits on June 7th and June 8th - and not only YLs around the world chase the activators; men are also invited to join in this year's chase. Anyone contacting 5 or more YLs on a SOTA summit becomes eligible for a certificate.
The biggest honors will go to the YL activators themselves who will be logging contacts and working toward any or all of six achievement awards, including one for a first-time SOTA activator. A special K1LIZ Memorial Achievement Award will be given to the YL with the highest number of achievement awards. Last year the event crowned Lorene W6LOR with the honor, which bears the callsign of top-achieving activator Liz Burns K1LIZ who became a Silent Key in February of 2022.
