Restrictions: Hours of operation: Summer 8am - 7pm, Winter 8am - 5pm.

Goodwill Parking Lot 1 Goodwill Parking Lot 2 Goodwill Parking Lot 3

The Goodwill parking lot is the northeast corner of CN74 along Hwy 101.
This is a good stop for grid-circling using:

  1. Liberty Inn, CN75
  2. Goodwill, CN74
  3. Hwy 101, CN84
  4. Post Office on Hwy 101, CN85

This parking lot is in a strip mall with restaurants and other shops.

D River Beach 1 D River Beach 2 D River Beach 3 D River Beach 4

D River State Recreation Site is in downtown Lincoln City with a small parking area on the beach.

This is in the NE corner of CN74. If you're grid-circling then try the Goodwill parking lot instead which has easier driving access to the grid corner.

Restrictions: No services but you're surrounded by Lincoln City.

South Beach 1 South Beach 2 South Beach 3 South Beach 4

South Beach State Park is close to Newport and offers a huge parking area, restroom, beach access and is well removed from any hills. This was our best operating spot during the January 2014 VHF contest.

Seal Rock 1 Seal Rock 2 Seal Rock 3 Seal Rock 4

South Beach State Park is another convenient area along Hwy 101 with restrooms and beach access.

The entire coastline from Newport south to Waldport is relatively far from the coastal hills, and should offer decent propagation. My preference is South Beach (8.2 miles north) but this would probably work as well.

Restrictions: No camping.

Driftwood State Park 1 Driftwood State Park 2 Driftwood State Park 3 Driftwood State Park 4

Driftwood State Park is a few miles south of Seal Rock and provides a handy open parking area near the beach. It has low trees and is well removed from nearby hills for a decent chance at decent propagation.

Tokatee Klootchman 1 Tokatee Klootchman 2 Tokatee Klootchman 3 Tokatee Klootchman 4

Tokatee Klootchman provides a small parking area with spectacular ocean views.
Propagation is very limited due to steep nearby hillsides.

Governor Patterson State Recreation Site is a comfortable place to set up on the coast in CN74. Plenty of parking and adjacent grassy open area for antennas. It also has close individual picnic table areas with 180 deg. coastal/beach views, and nice restrooms. There is a drive thru coffee/espresso stand approx 500 ft north of here.

Driving directions: On the west side of Hwy 101 on the south end of Waldport, OR. This is approximately one mile South of Waldport's only stoplight that's at the south end of the Alsea Bay Bridge.

Beachside State Recreation Site is a state park with full hookups. They have a small day use area. I have had some excellent openings into California and the Southwest out of this location. Now and then you can make it over the coastal range into the Willamette Valley on 144 and 220.

Driving directions: Five miles south of Waldport, OR on Highway 101.
