Activate a County 2022

If you’re planning to activate a county in the Salmon Run (even if it’s your normal fixed station), please (form closed for 2022). The results will be tabulated every few days into the Activations list below.  The Activate a County list is a way to inform hams around the world where to find operators in the different Washington counties – and to let those who plan who go out as mobile stations know which counties may not be covered.  There are no exclusive reservations.

For rovers, you’re welcome to either fill out this form once for each county or send your activation plan (ideally answering the questions below for each county planned) to the Salmon Run Committee.

In addition, a number of multi-county mobiles and expeditions are planned for this year.  W7TG will activate Skagit and Whatcom counties, while K7TQ and WA0WWW are planning a 20 county mobile bonanza spanning eastern Washington. For more information see their web page here.

For those yet to choose a county, we’ve done some analysis on the logs from 2021 to aid expeditions and rovers in picking counties that weren’t very popular last year.  The following table shows the number of QSOs in the submitted logs for each county by mode, as well as the number of stations worked in each county.
