UPDATE March 2023: W7O/CE-213 has been retired (prominance 480 feet).
Awbrey Butte is a summit in suburban Bend, Oregon. Although the Activation Zone is surrounded by private property and the summit proper is a fenced site for multiple radio installations, there are several Bend city parks near the summit and a trail between them that make an activation possible.
There is a trail that connects two Bend city parks - Sylvan Park and Summit Park. The address for Sylvan Park is 2996 NW Three Sisters Drive, Bend, Oregon. One part of the trail runs along the fenceline for the radio installations with back yards of large homes on the other side of the trail. We started at Sylvan Park (only a few parking spots there) and went along the trail about 200 meters until we reached the AZ and found a tree next to the trail to set up and operate. From Sylvan Park, there is also a social trail network that heads up to the right towards the water towers - you can find a spot to operate there too. Have a care not to string your antenna across any trail. There was a some QRN from the radio installations and you may find your 2m HT front end completely blocked by RFI.
