Last night my wife and I took our dog out for a hike at a local park in Newport Coast.This is a beautiful spot with 200' views of Mt. Baldy, Santiago Peak and the Pacific Ocean. The location is 33' 36" 19.46 N 48' 06.52 W. Elevation 1008 ft. I ran into a guy who had a mobile HAM set-up and was picking up and transmitting clearly to Hawaii and I beleive he said Japan. His name was Dennis, I gave him our URL hopefully he'll sign up and post a hello.

Nice find, Scott...
From what I've heard, the HF bands have been extremely active to Japan and points west recently.

That is so cool. I hope he signs up, he seemed really knowledgeable. It was so beautiful yesterday, I could clearly see San Clemente Island 65 miles from my location and the San Gabriel Mountain Range does not get prettier than that!
