Nothing much to this one. The high point on Camino Cielo is within the activation zone. There is a gated road to the summit but a fenced aviation radar facility blocks access to the actual summit. I look at a spot up that road but opted for a spot along Camino Cielo that was shielded from the radar.

I did manage to lose my Packtenna end fed random wire on the turnout on the road.

I'm a graphic artist in the movie business. When I was a kid I got interested in astronomy. When it would get too cloudy to observe the heavens, my buddy and I would sit at the VFO of his Hallicrafters S 38c like safe crackers trying to coax faraway signals out of that humble radio. My love of astronomy and radio survive to this day fifty+ years later.
