A line-of-sight lookup tool for Washington amateur-radio operators working SOTA summits.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.
For
Washington SOTA radio operators
Worth noticing
It pre-computes visibility for every W7W summit and six-character Maidenhead grid square in Washington.

Field notes

The tool models radio visibility between Washington operating locations and SOTA summits using six-character Maidenhead grid squares and summit references. Its result vocabulary is unusually concrete: clear begins at a zero-metre margin, marginal extends down to -50 metres, and blocked falls below that threshold. The page also exposes methodology and GitHub links, giving the compact utility a visible technical trail.
