On my way back from Eastern PA, I stopped by Weiser State Forest for this short hike, not far from some high tension powerlines. I parked at the trailhead for the Sincavage Trail off of Taylorsville Mountain Road. This tract of Weiser SF felt very open, the trees not very tall or densely packed. The trail was really a gated gravel road and it probably was only about half mile to get into the activation zone, but I went on to get close to the actual high point.
There was plenty of space on a side road to string a wire along and I enjoyed a calm activation. Two S2S QSOs to note: KF9D on W9/WI-013 Sauk Point on 40m and KX0R on W0C/FR-089 Cheesman Mountain on 15m.
