Another visit to Wine Spring Bald for 2019. The weather was crisp but not too cold - just above freezing with no wind at the summit. It was a bit warmer at the base of the climb. The view below looking at Whiteside Mtn.
My station at the summit - brought the KX3 connected to my home made link dipole. The REI chair was very comfortable - no more of the legs going to sleep.
There was a ranger station about halfway up the Forest Road from 1916
Nice blue sky back drop with the SOTA flag waving in the slight breeze.
Hiking down - we can still see the summit in the upper part of the picture - one can see the antenna farm
GPS track of our hike
Three summit to summit QSO's - one with Paula K9IR activating Lookout Mountain W9/WI-003 in Wisconsin, with George KX0R activating Green Mountain W0C/FR-085 in Colorado and with Bob AC1Z activating Mount Israel W1/HA-049 in New Hampshire. I made QSOs on 4 bands, 60, 40, 30, 20m. I even got a surprise call from Slovenia S57V.
