The following photos and videos were taken by W5ATO during a May 1st trip to the 146.820 Christmas Mountain site to replace a sick repeater system.

Prehistoric
The topography here looks prehistoric.

North approach.
The road stops below the crest of the mountain.
South approach.
View from the opposite side of the mountain. Yes, the drop-off is really that steep.
South approach 2.
Our equipment is on the left.
South approach 3
You can see part of the access road in the distance.
Don't leave us!!!!
Matt takes off to pick up Alan in a nearby town. The wind picked up right after he left.
Come back soon!
"Please don't forget to come back and pick us up."
Return
Matt and Alan show up, but just long enough for us to pile in and fly out before the wind and approaching rain would have grounded us.

Some fool holding the old repeater, and Matt.
Xmas 3
Some fool and Bill (W5ATO).
