It was a nice fall day, so Joyce K0JJW and I decided to go for an easy hike
up Kaufman Ridge HP (W0C/SP-081 (
http://sotawatch.org/summits.php?summit=W0C/SP-081 ) ) and do some SOTA
operating. Well, maybe the hike was her idea and the Summits On The Air (
http://www.w0c-sota.org/ ) thing was my contribution to the plan. The hike is
less than a mile and has about 900 feet in elevation gain, depending on where
you start the hike.

ThisÂ*definitely a slacker operation: easy access, easy hike, great weather
and 2m FM activation via a handheld radio and the 1/2-waveÂ*whip.
