Our membership represents decades of experience, are active POTA, SOTA, GOTA, Field Day, and contest participants using voice, CW and various digital modes. And, we can provide a wide range technical and operational support. 

We have an evolving MESH system with monthly meetings, and a new winlink node. Our repeaters are located at Highpoint, the highest point in the Seattle and affording 360-degree coverage for the Puget Sound region.
