W4C/CM-088 Sugarloaf Mtn Activation

My second solo activation for the new year - drove to north of Hendersonville NC.  Having trimmed my end fed dipole for resonance for 20 and 40m withot an ATU, the KX3 ATU also matched the impedance to 1:1 on 30m.

Initial part of the 3/4 mile hike to the summit

Encountered this antenna site - not at the summit

The summit is a treeless grass covered expanse

With an antenna farm used for military and civilian aviation.   This is a VORTAC antenna.   The antenna was fastened to the posts on the fence.

Great views of the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains

Activator Points now stand at 201
