W4G/NG-002 Rabun Bald

The activation party from Whiteside Mtn (KE4EA, NY4G, and KW4JM) continued on to Rabun Bald.

At the summit is a wooden observation tower which has unobstructed, 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding area.  The video is courtesy of KW4JM.



The USGS marker signifying the summit above.

KW4JM set-up his vertical by using the tower for support.  He operated below the tower.  KE4EA and I tagged team on the deck using the LNR MTR on a SOTABEAMS mast.  I first started on 20m and Dave KE4EA finished on 40m.   KW4JM stayed on 30m.

Here is the highlight of the activation for me - ZL1BYZ called me on 20m.  How is that for cool?

Since it was getting late.  We hustled down the mountain and made it out before dusk.
