[Elecraft] QRP and Camping/Back packing in the Bay Area

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Quite so. It's been a number of years since I drove up and down that
mountain several times a week servicing repeaters for General Communications
Engineering, but there were also a number of repeaters there in the old Land
Mobile frequency range of 30 to 50 MHz as well as the VHF and UHF repeaters.

But be aware that Mt. Diablo is "RF city" with all the communication sites
up there on both North Peak and South Peak.  (I used to maintain one.).  Not
much HF if any but plenty of VHF, UHF, and microwave.
