On a foggy Aug 30 my supervisor and I hiked to Mt Fremont Lookout to upgrade and perform maintenance on the radio system. After the work was complete we hiked to the proper summit of the mountain. From the lookout, 1/10 mile south and 140 vertical feet, got us to the top.

| This view, looking north, is from the Frozen Lake intersection of many trails. The actual summit is about 3/4 of the way over from the left, horizontally in the middle. The trail along the mountainside leads to the lookout, which can be seen if you squint or press CNTL + . This foto was harvested from the world wide web. |
Armed with a 2 meter handy talkie attached to my coaxial dipole antenna - we took turns calling CQ SOTA on 146.520. I made 7 QSOs. One as far away as Aberdeen, WA... which is very close to the Pacific Ocean. I'm still amazed and pleased about the number of hams who monitor six-five-two and who want to make the QSO with the far away ham.
Mt Fremont is not a drive close to the summit kind of activation... but is a pretty easy summit to achieve 8 points if the activator is willing to do the hike. The scenery is spectacular too. Info on this hike can be found here: http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mount-fremont-lookout
