After Action W5N MG 043
开云体育Don and I headed out this morning to meet up with AA7OY , Dale, at trail head parking. Started the hike up around 1700 UTC. Nice hike up the ridge line with very few problems. Weather was nice with winds, my guess, around 15 to 20 mph. This is a new one for Dale so we made sure he set up right on top. see pics for fun? Dale only lacks about 6 points for his triple goat. Hope his next summit is a doozie HI HI. 73 all WB5USB Geo |

After Action Report, W5N/GW-016.
Deep Creek Divide.
The road from Reserve NM has some dirt sections but is mostly paved with a ratio of 50% asphalt and 50%
potholes. Most any vehicle would have no problem, the last 1.5 mile has some trees hanging over the road which could be pushed through but I like to walk and elected to park my truck. The hike is an easy bushwack climb that is quite enjoyable to a large AZ that has plenty of space for a few ops to spread out, relax and work some DX on 10 meters while soaking in the view.
A nice little summit to bump up your unique score.
Big thanks to Conor for reminding me to write this up.

Best 73,

After Action W5N CO-014
开云体育After Action Cerro BrillanteCool as I headed out to trail head parking with Scott a few minutes behind on his way to Mount Taylor. Its been a while since I got this one. Parked by the two tanks (see GPX file Drive) then hiked .8 miles to the summit. (see GPX file Hike).? The first part on the hike is steep and covered with small lava rocks, but no problems switch backing up the ridge line. The last part is easy hiking up grassy meadows to the summit. ? Set up my antenna right on top at the rock pile and found a nice flat area to set up my portable chair. Roads up are SUBARU capable with dry ruts. Mostly smooth with areas of exposed rocks. Started on 28 MHz and was swamped with DX and local stations. Band conditions were very good. 73 all enjoy the pics? Geo WB5USB |

Re: SE-35 St Peters Dome Access
I do need to get familiar with that sotlas website and will be sure to play around with that....thanks!? I was using the sotadata.org.uk website to try searching, so it's good to have another option.
?
Do most people use the sotlas website over the sotadata, or are they both useful in their own way?? Are they linked so that someone spotting on one of the sites, will also be seen on the other?

Re: SE-35 St Peters Dome Access
Don't worry Fred....I don't go where I don't belong!? I've ridden up to Capilla Peak, but didn't bring my gear....so that's a return trip for sure.
And I hate to be a bother, but can I get the full summit codes for Elk Mountain and 8112 please?? There are quite a few Elk Mountains and I can't find 8112.
I sure appreciate the suggestions and feedback everyone!

Re: SE-35 St Peters Dome Access
开云体育? Jim,? Don’t count on getting your motorcycle past the gate! Facing the peak, there’s a drop-off on the left side and boulders obstructing the right side. 73, John K1JD On Oct 21, 2024, at 1:45?PM, Jim Snider via groups.io <ke4yrx@...> wrote:
