Here is a short pan across our campsite at 5600′ atop Santiago Peak in Orange County, CA. Darin and I setup a nice HF + VHF station the previous night. Equipment was a YaesU FT-857d and a Kenwood TS-520. The antenna was a 102″ G5RV setup as inverted-v. The metal pipes you see sticking out of the ground are viewfinders for popular landmarks like Catalina Island, Mt Palomar and Mt Wilson.

did you spend a night up there?
Yes, this video was shot around 7am after we woke up. I’m not sure if you’re actually allowed to camp overnight, but we did and didn’t have any trouble.
