Tower Guy, I think the coordinates you came up with are a bit south of where I am and less shadowed by the ridge, I'm a couple of blocks north of Hillside Road and just about a block east of...

Tower Guy, very interesting story you mentioned from Vermont. I read the entire story, especially interesting was how he mounted the antenna only a foot off the ground! So there is merit to the data...
