Our second SOTA outing following a failed attempt at Elephant Head South of Sahuarita.
This was an easy drive up at the Dragoons sitting between Benson Arizona and Wilcox Arizona just off the I-10 Freeway. This peak is an array of antennas with no view North, really limited to catching everything south of the I-10 Freeway. Great view.....
As a Technician I was really frustrated on this peak as well, only pulled in the minimum 4 contacts, two of which were on 6-meter to include a trip over the mountain into Green Valley.
KI7LLD and KI7OFN both activated the peak with contacts on 2m that included traffic on the freeway. Had the Yaesu 857d with a simple roll up 6 and 2m antenna.
Weather was extremely nice as we just celebrated Christmas, gota love Arizona.
