W6/NC-434 Bay Hill

After activating Pole Mountain, I stopped by Bay Hill on my way home. This is an easy drive up peak. There is a long pullout just before the high point if you're heading east on the road. I parked here, walked a short distance from my car, and set up.

Setup an the side of Bay Hill Road.

I still didn't know why my wire antennas weren't working, so I just put up the whip. After putting out a spot I got three contacts on 20. After calling a while on 30 I got number four. I tried 2m for a few minutes, and had a quick qso with a PG&E worker who was about to start his shift.

Not much of a view in the fog.

Only one car drove by while I was on top. Definitely not busy midweek. There was no reason to hang out on the side of the road on a foggy day, so I packed up and made my way through the traffic back home.
