First Activation 2019 - W4C/WM-042 Whiteside Mountain

This started out as a trip to the wrong Whiteside Mtn trailhead.   Scott KW4JM is usually early.   I texted him that I was at the trailhead.   Sure enough, I was at the wrong road (not too far away from Scott).

Here I am operating my K1 - a convenient rock
