Kenwood TS-430 and Yaesu FT=857d2 viewsDarin's setup is on the left (TS-430). My setup is on the right (FT-857d). Most contacts were made using the Yaesu to avoid switching the antenna between rigs.

Moonlight and Clouds4 viewsThis is also one of my favorite shots of the trip. Exposure was 20 seconds on the DSC-W1. I suppose the distant headlights may be in San Juan Capistrano. The city lights towards the left is probably San Clemente (my hometown).

VHF Vertical2 viewsDarin found this antenna at a muffler shop. The shop owner had no use for it and let him take it. We used the MFJ-259 to determine the antenna was resonant on 2 meter AND 6 meter. From this height though, we were able to hit a few repeaters using a dummy load!
