20241230 - Evening POTA on the Arizona Trail

Evening Activation #2

Made it to the Arizona Trail near C.C. Cragin Lake in the Coconino National Forest. This is a pretty high plateu at around 7300+ feet elevation. (my iPhone GPS said I was at 73,330’ - what a bug!!!) Targeting 20M, I did get one contact on 15M @ 1.5w.

C.C. Cragin Lake was very low on water.
