Just got back from driving the Camino Cielo trail with Erin, along the ridge of the Santa Ynez mountains northwest of Santa Barbara. It was cold and foggy and a bit rugged, but a very nice drive.
From the mountaintops we contacted Dave K6HWN in Santa Barbara and Justin K6LPZ all the way back in Carpinteria, on 146.52 using a only 5 Watts from handheld radio and a mag-mount antenna on the hood of the Jeep.
Erin took the picture of me.
