On Tuesday, September 13, I activated Mount Diablo (elevation 3,849 feet/1173 meters), a very prominent feature that is visible throughout much of northern and central California. Due to this, a CQ ("calling any station") from its summit is usually guaranteed to draw a great response from a wide area. I logged 18 QSO's (contacts) on this date, all on the 2-meter band (FM).
Larry, KA6GND, in Forest Ranch was approximately 138 miles (222 km) away; not bad for 2 meters.
The views are pretty amazing:
