KB5WIA California Lost Coast (CM79/CM89/CN70/CN80) August 7-8, 2011
Hi Everyone,
I'm about a month away from my planned grid-expedition to the rare grid squares in California's Lost Coast. If all goes well, I'll be QRV from the grid intersection of CM79, CM89, CN70, and CN80 on Sunday August 7th and Monday August 8th. As usual, I'll try for as many linear and FM bird passes as I can manage. I'll be using the twin Yaesu FT-817ND radios, along with the Elk antenna on a tripod. Power will come from a lightweight LiFePO4 battery and as much sunlight as my solar panels can harvest. I haven't been to this location before, but based on the terrain, I should have fairly good views towards the horizons, so hopefully anyone in North America who needs these grids can get them!

Yep, will be just south of Shelter Cove on Chemise Mountain. I'm looking forward to it - this area will be a new one for me!
