There is a road all the way to the top with a parking lot on the top as well.
There is also a cog railway to the top if your car can't make the trip.

Antenna Bearings and Distances

Map with range rings

Map courtesy of AZ_PROJ by NA3T and NV3Z. (Each ring is 50 mi or 80 km apart.)

Maps will take from 30 sec - 5 mins on an unloaded server, depending on the amount of information plotted. Microsoft IE may time out after 3 mins.

Magnetic Declination (Variation)

Magnetic Declination, sometimes called Variation (especially in the aircraft world), is the difference between True North and Magnetic North. It is expressed in the number of degrees difference between the two directions and on which side of True North you will find Magnetic North.

(Declination was calculated on the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center web page at http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp)

Distance and Bearings Table

Notes:

All antenna bearings on this page are referenced to True North.
(All bearings and distances were calculated using the formulas of BD.EXE, Version 2004 by W9IP and N1BWT and using the exact geographical coordinates for each location.)

The following table shows targets that are within 250 miles (400km) of this RoveSite.
