i've been thinking about the same concept and my searches have led me to this post. Have you talked to anyone else about this? I'm an avid hiker and always bring my radio when i hike to listen and try to hit gmrs repeaters that i can't hit from my home. About a month ago i was able to hear my son (at home on my base radio) from a nearby "peak" about 650' on gmrs simplex. This led me to discover the SOTA and POTA but the closest "pota peaks" are about an hour from me (plus i dont have a ham license) A gmrs version of sota would be awesome, especially if it doesn't have to be on a >2,000ft peak. The hardest thing might be notifying enough people about the where/when before hand and getting to the peak at the said time to make contacts.
