W6/NS-420 Colfax Hill

This peak is an easy drive up near the town of Colfax, just off of I-80. After activating Gold Star Peak I stopped by on my way back to the Bay Area. There are some houses on the top, but the road goes through the activation zone. I found a place to park on the side, and set up.

Operating.

It was my first time using the QRPGuys paddle that plugs into the front, so I made some sending mistakes. Its a nice little paddle though. After making my contacts I left. No reason to hang out on this summit. Next up was the drive up Quick Benchmark.
