Agency Hill, CN92ap73
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Agency Hill once hosted a lookout tower, which has long since been cleaned off. This ridge boasts an excellent view in all directions. However, there are cellphone and repeater transmitters up here, too. It is not far from CN82 to the west. Upper Klamath Ridge, CN92cj24
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a 1500' ridge above the huge Upper Klamath Lake basin with good gravel roads in the Fremont-Winema National Forests. I used a spot just past the cattle guard but many possible sites could be used. The ridge rises gradually to the north so you may want to continue that direction to find better propagation to Portland and Seattle. There is a nice rest area, Hagelstein Park, at the turnoff from Hwy 97. Restrictions: Watch for active logging operations. Stukel Mtn, CN92ec34
![]() ![]() ![]() Stukel Mtn is a 6200' peak a few miles southeast of Klamath Falls basin. The road is said to be paved to the top. The ridge has several towers and active ham repeaters. Driving access is from due east of the peak. Hamaker Mtn, CN92ab36
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Military radar site, not guarded, open access. Several fenced compounds surrounding several commercial and amateur transmitters. Good propagation in all directions. Large paved parking lot. This is quite likely the absolute best operating spot in CN92 (which isn't saying much, since it's a very long way to any metro center). Driving directions: The turn-off is along Hwy 66 between Keno and Mt Ashland. Turn south onto Hamaker Mtn Road. It's about 20 minutes to the top on a paved road. Restrictions: Road is not plowed in winter. May be closed in winter, but usually open in June.
Light Peak, CN92wh22
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Light Peak summit is about 0.6 miles NE of Drake Peak Lookout. The top is absolutely barren with clear views in all directions. The best VHF/UHF Contest site on the west coast (my opinion), except that it's closed to motorized travel. Restrictions: Light Peak is closed to motorized travel by the Fremont-Winema Forest Travel Management Plan. You can still hike in, bicycle, ride a horse or etc. Drake Peak Lookout, CN92wh12
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a Forest Service Lookout that can be rented. Drake Peak Lookout is actually on a shoulder of Light Peak. For what it's worth, Light Peak itself is about 1.7 miles east and only accessible by hiking cross country. See the lookout rental website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/fremont-winema/recreation/recarea/?recid=59801 . There is a really nice privy installed by the repeaters (see sunset photo). Another good spot is Light Peak summit, about 0.6 miles NE of the Lookout and can be driven in a 4WD vehicle. Driving directions: From Highway north of Lakeview, turn right on Highway 140.
Restrictions: Closed in winter. Hagelstein Mountain, CN92bk92
![]() ![]() ![]() Driving directions: Hagelstein Mountain is about 12 miles north of Klamath Falls.
