Well, after studying maps and looking over forest service maps, I found a perfect opportunity to go. Kel and I left home early in the morning, navigating various freeways out of the city, eventually ending up on Highway 14 north past Mojave, CA. From there, we turned left on Jawbone Canyon Road (dirt) and continued for quite a long way, eventually making a left on Grouse Meadow Trail, which got us close to the base of 7895. Once parked, it was an easy hike up to the summit. At the top I setup my Yaesu 817 with a roll-up 2M antenna and posted a spot. I didn’t think I would make any QSOs here, but Jon from Torrence boomed right in. I didn’t get any other takers, so I moved to the 20M band which resulted in two S2S QSOs. The weather was a bit stormy so I packed up and headed back to the truck. https://sotl.as/summits/W6/SS-348 Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:12:21 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.benmook.com https://video.benmook.com/lazy-static/avatars/298a662a-dfdd-4a9f-b98f-8ffd38337b70.png https://video.benmook.com/videos/watch/52308a0f-c67a-4aa2-93c3-16a116ae389d All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.benmook.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
