K7ATN and I headed out for a socially distanced joint activation of W7O/CN-086, south of Mt Hood. This is a wonderful 2 point summit, just off the PCT from Barlow Sno-Park. The trail is mostly gradual with a couple steep pitches. I was on backcountry skis with skins and K7ATN was on tele skis.
I had 4 QSOs on 2m with a rollup J-Pole. My farthest 2m contact was south of Fossil, OR. Close to 90mi!
After that, I joined K7ATN lower down in the activation zone and we got on HF. Many thanks to K7ATN for coaching me through those QSOs and many thanks to the Chasers for their incredible patience!
