Hi Everyone!
I plan to operate portable from Huckleberry Mountain summit tomorrow
05/13/2012. Located in CN97FD27 and has elevation of 4902ft. I will
have a 5e Yagi with me for 2m/70cm and FT857. The summit might be
covered by trees, so let's see what this setup will be enough for.
If you have time please listen for my signal. Planned to start
operation around 08:30 Pacific. You can follow my progress on APRS.

PS
Yesterday I was on a nearby summit and 2m ssb was dead. I tuned
144.299 and did not hear the beacon.
Many thanks!

Hi Peter, how did it go? I'm interested in the location and would love to read a trip report, if you're so inclined. A few pictures would be fun to see if it's easy to publish somewhere.
Thanks, Barry K7BWH

Hi,
The activation was successful. It was really nice to catch up with
some real VHF gurus like Dale KD7UO and Mike KD7TS. We also made 432
QSOs. All together I was able to chat with 5 different stations on 2m.
The other 3 station were new to my. I should have stayed longer on the
summit and maybe catch more people around the afternoon, but I headed
home after I could not reduce SWR on my buddipole for 20m. Weather was
absolutely amazing. I hope I can make more contacts next time. I will
put up a trip report on http://www.pnwsota.org/
I will add pictures there also, give me a week or two.
I plan to deploy my station on Mt. Adams during the June ARRL VHF
contest, so hope I can talk to more of you guys.
Many thanks to all stations who were looking for my signal. In order
of QSO:
VA7VO
N6ZE/M
KD7UO
KB7DQH
KD7TS
Although I always want some good DX, I want to emphasize that I really
appreciate the local contacts and some rag-chew. Without them it would
not be such fun :)
