POTA US-1176 Eagle Peak

Intro

My brother Shad and I hiked Mount Diablo today. We set out around 12:30 PM from Mitchell Canyon visitor center, hiking up to Eagle Peak. It was mostly overcast and around 55 degrees with zero wind.

POTA Activation

We made 12 radio contacts on 146.520 FM for a successful POTA activation at US-1176 in about 35 minutes.
