SOTA "Summits on the Air"
Second annual Arizona S2S September madness event 09.28.2019
KI7OFN and myself (KI7OFL) hiked up Green Mountain W7A/PE-002 located on the opposite side of the road just east of Rose Canyon in the Catalina mountains. Took everything but the kitchen sink on this one, thought about that fresh brewed coffee waiting on the peak the entire time.
Large number of AZ SOTA Members on Peaks throughout Arizona for a morning focus on S2S. This hike took 1hr longer than last year, 3hrs total as our heavy packs and hurt knee's took a toll.
I set up a 9elem 2m beam as well as the MFJ Big Ears (Had a 3 element 6 meter beam packed if needed), KI7OFN was running a 6m and 2m roll up at about 30'. 2m was fair, the MFJ Big Ears did a solid job tuning in both 20 and 40 meters for a number of in and out of state contacts.
