Spencer Butte Trailhead, CN83kx75
![]() ![]() ![]() Spencer Butte is a nice peak for VHF, but the closest you can drive is the Trailhead parking lot. There's a decent takeoff NW to N, but being right on the hill there's no other viable direction. Kenyon Mtn, CN83ca60
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kenyon Mountain is also called Signal Tree. Photos by Phil KD7ZD in the Spring Sprint for 220 MHz on April 13, 2015. Spike Butte, CN83kp42
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() An excellent location just barely south of the CN83-84 gridline, which will typically offer propagation north to Eugene and south to California. Barry K7BWH and Tom K7ZL operated here in the 2013 January VHF Contest. Normally this is snowed in during winter but a freak temperature inversion had cleared the BLM roads. Also try CN83kp31na outcrop nearby for a southern exposure. Round Mountain, CN83jw40
![]() ![]() ![]() It looks suspiciously driveable just south of the CN83-CN84 grid line near Eugene, OR. However, it's gated at the Lorane Hwy. Looks like the beef company owns the property, due to the giant gate at the road. Driving directions: This is 45 minutes from Eugene on back roads, or 45 minutes from Creswell. Taylor Butte, CN83ls46
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Taylor Butte looks like a drivable high point near CN83-CN84 grid line near Eugene. But it's gated off below the summit, and there are no viable operating spots due to houses. Driving directions: 20 minutes south of Creswell, OR:
Restrictions: Satellite view shows radio towers on this hilltop. Wards Butte, CN83kr06
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Another high point near I-5 just south of the CN83 grid line. Sept 2019: it turns out that one direction the road is gated, and the other was past an open gate on Friday but the road was well blocked off and grown over. There is a pretty good spot just to the East, but on Sunday the second gate was closed and locked. They are doing a bunch of logging up there, so I think in the near future it will be closed off. Driving directions: Take I-5 exit 174 in Cottage Grove
Dickinson Mtn, CN83jn41
![]() ![]() ![]() Hilltop near I-5 in southern Oregon, about an hour south of Eugene. It looks good on a map but it's gated off at 43.54297, -123.23611. This is posted as Dougas Forest Product land ownership. Driving directions: An hour south of Eugene:
Devore Mtn, CN83io36
![]() ![]() ![]() Gated at Hwy 99 when the county transfer station is closed, and looks permanently gated up the road when the transfer station is open. Looks like a Douglas Forest Products gate. Driving directions: An hour south of Eugene, OR:
Carter Ridge, CN83aw29
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 2004-01: There are two operating locations on CN73/CN83 grid line. - Lynn N7CFO 2014-01: Good roads but heavily forested. Yes, this is one way to get into CN83, but its a 20-minute drive and I couldn't find a really good operating position in the clear. - Barry K7BWH Driving directions:
