Directions to AD5A QTH:

Enter the address on your GPS and follow those to Spanish Pass Rd. Then stay on Spanish Pass Rd until it dead ends, (some GPS will take a back way down a gravel road, don’t do that). There will be a gate to your right that will be open, go through the gate and follow the road up the hill. After about .75 miles you will see the antennas up the hill to the left. Come up the drive way or we will have someone directing you where to park.
