Little Mountain

CN88

General.  This site is a public park parking lot on top of a small mountain.  It is about ten minutes off I-5 up a paved road.  The best exposure is to the south and southwest.  It is an excellent location up through 432, but doesn't seem to do well on UHF.  There is a sloping parking lot, and unfortunately there are power lines directly overhead.  There are restrooms and an observation deck.  N4SL and WB7FJG set up a portable station up through 432 in front of the observation deck during the June '01 contest and reported excellent results.

This is a popular local attraction,  so expect a lot of traffic.
