KH7AL

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. My name is Allen Le Vie, amateur radio call sign KH7AL. This page is the one-stop-shop to follow my adventures. 

My passion for Ham Radio resides in operating mountaintop portable while participating in Summits On The Air (SOTA).  As of fall 2024 I have over 150 activations under my belt, and on my way towards achieving 1,000 points and "Mountain Goat" status. That's a journey that I started back in 2013. Every activation is unique and I learn something new each time about researching summits, gear/pack preparation, hiking, activating and just enjoying my journeys in the great outdoors. 

I also serve as the SOTA Association Manager for the Hawai'i Islands, KH6 association.  If you have any questions about ham radio, or Summits On The Air please email me: kh7al@arrl.net.

UPDATE: I will be operating occasionally as KH7AL/KH9 while on Wake Island during my days off from work there (end of 2024 and into 2025). I welcome working many DX from this prime spot in the Pacific. This is also a POTA location (UM-0009, Wake Island National Wildlife Refuge), Grid Square RK39, ITU Zone 65, CQ Zone 31, IOTA OC-053, DXCC Wake Island. 

As for my equipment on Wake, I have my Yeasu FT-891, and several dipole antenna options (10, 15, 17, 20, 30, & 40m), SSB or CW only. Please be patient and courteous and I will do my best to work everyone I can.

   --> QSL: QRZ primary, Direct SASE, or Bureau.
