Thanks 2MC! Love your videos 👍 👌

That's a nice easy winter hike. I activated it in May 2022. The problem I've got in Utah is that we've had so much snow that it isn't safe to hike in the mountains. It's really frustrating.

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Yeah, it's a great mellow winter summit. I hope the snow stabilizes and you get to get out soon!

Was in Reno and Carson City over the weekend. Called out on 52 a few times for you.

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Sorry I missed you, Fred. I typically monitor 146.50 and the W7TA linked repeaters in the Reno area. There are not many on 52 here, but a few on 50.
