Early in 2021 I learned on Twitter that N6DNM would be activating Santa Rosa on May 15. I thought it would be kind of neat to do a channel island activation on the same day and try for a summit to summit contact! So, I chose to research and plan East Peak Benchmark, W6/SC-329 as pretty easy to get to with the regular service to Avalon. The original concept was to stay overnight Friday, but I learned later that it is a 2 night minimum on the weekend. I booked the 7am boat to arrive about 8:30. Surely I’d be on the peak by 11am!
