WA6PYE AND WA6DLQ HID THE TRANSMITTER IN THE ANAHEIM HILLS AT N33.82699 W117.75842 (DIRT POWER LINE ROAD). THIS IS ABOUT 100 YARDS SOUTH AND BELOW ROBBERS PEAK (AAA ORANGE COUNTY MAP).
THE HIDDEN T WAS USING A HORIZONTAL 4 ELEMENT KLM BEAM ONE FOOT OFF THE GROUND RUNNING ONE HALF WATT OF POWER. THE ANTENNA WAS POINTED AT THE HILLS IN LEMON HIGHEST, BUT THERE WAS A HIGH VOLTAGE TOWER ABOUT 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE ANTENNA THAT WAS PICKING UP THE SIGNAL AND RE RADIATING IT.
FOUR HUNTERS DROVE TO THE HIDDEN T. TWO HUNTERS PARKED BY ROBBERS PEAK AND WALKED IN. THE WINNER (KE6HPZ) PARKED AT THE SCHOOL AT KNOLL RANCH ROAD AND SERRANTO AND WALKED IN (A LONG WAYS).
HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO KE6SNE WHO STARTED IN GARDEN GROVE AND FOUND THE HIDDEN T IN 40 MINUTES USING ONLY A DOPPLER.
THE RESULTS: CALL MILEAGE TIME
KE6HPZ 11.55 9:48 WALKED IN WB6ADC 14.30 9:37 WALKED IN KF6GQ 14.70 9:38 WALKED IN N6AIN 15.50 8:55 DROVE IN N6ZHZ 16.20 10:00 DROVE IN K0OV 27.20 10:36 DROVE IN KD6EYR DNF KD6SNE UNOFFICAL DROVE IN
I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING BOUNDARY CHANGES: FROM THE 71-91 JUNCTION TO THE SANTIAGO CYN ROAD AND JAMBOREE ROAD JUNCTION. FROM THIS JUNCTION FOLLOW JAMBOREE ROAD TO PCH. THEN PCH UP THE COAST. THIS WILL ADD THE NEWPORT BACK BAY AND GIVE US A FEW MORE GOOD HIDING PLACES AND ESTABLISH A GOOD SOLID BOUNDARY IN THIS AREA.
THANKS FOR HUNTING!!!!! WA6PYE AND WA6DLQ
