UPDATE De 2019 - Posted No Trespassing.
A Fairly easy peak off US-101 south of Gold Beach, Oregon. Take Carpenterville Road about 10 miles to Powerline Road, which is blocked by a blue gate off to your right. Park across Carpenterville Road and walk about 1 mile to the summit. Avoid EMI-causing hilltop communications site.
Good coverages on 20 and 40 meters, though some RFI was evident on 40M.
As the photo shows, this was one of my "minimal" operations. When I don't know how far I'm hiking, I leave my camp stool and folding aluminum table behind. Operation is from, well, the ground!
While I've been using my W1SFR commercial end-fed-and-balun, this time I went back to my old standby: Three endfed wires and the estimable Hendricks "SOTA Tuner." My impression is that I get better reports, but haven't done an A/B comparison from one site yet.
