Colorado 14er Event Awards

Two awards are available for radio contacts to and from the 14,000-foot mountains of Colorado. The SUMMIT AWARD is earned by making contact with 10 or more of the 14er mountains. The PINNACLE AWARD recognizes operation from 14er summits, requiring radio operation from 5 or more summits. Award recipients will receive an attractive, colorful certificate with name, call sign and the number of peaks worked or activated on it.

Any amateur band can be used to make these contacts. No QSL cards are required but a list of stations worked (including call sign, summit, date, time, band and mode) must be submitted. Endorsements such as HF- only, VHF/UHF only, specific band, specific mode, satellite, etc. are available at the discretion of the awards manager. (If you have a specific idea for an endorsement, just ask!) Repeater contacts are not allowed but OSCAR satellite contacts do count for the awards.

The Colorado 14er Event is an excellent opportunity to work or activate 14er summits. However, radio contacts can be made anytime during the year and count towards these two awards.

To apply for these awards, review the details of the award rules and download the application below.   A $5 fee covers the cost of the certificate and associated expenses. Questions should be directed to the awards manager, Paul Ermisch KB0LUR.
