HI guys, I am reading your comments and have a few to add. Right now I am on
vacation in FN51av in S.Wellfleet about 1/2 mile from the Marconi site. Not
a good vhf location surrounded by 60-70 pine trees but I did put up a beacon
on 144.272 running 10w while I am here for the month of July. At this time
it is on a 11ele yagi pointing 260' towards CT. Many have heard it in CT, NY
and when rotated in VT and NH so I guess it does get out somewhat through
the trees. Next week I will put up a halo higher and see how it plays, take
a listen. I also might goto a great location in Truro which I have worked on
10ghz
when others were there. I will take the 2m yagi and work some of
the mornings gang on .205. I am on most mornings on 144.205 8-9:30a using my
base at home
remoted.
Michael, I use to be a tech working for Ed Bristol, SK and maintained the
Brooklyn Microwave site. This was in the 70's with SNET. Can't say I
remember you. I later went to Cellular Engineering where I retired in 2001.
FYI, I believe there is a DMR repeater at that site. Bald Mtn in Union where
there is another Microwave site is good and of course Mohawk Mtn. in Goshen.
I will be at the NEWS picnic this weekend.

Sean: I used to manage a a former microwave antenna site owned by SNET in
Brooklyn CT (near intersection of US 6 and I 395) Nice site, good shot SW.
It is private property, now managed by AT&T. I suspect AT&T is not that ham
friendly, but that might be a good area to look. Wish I could be of more
help. --Mike, WV2ZOW

As the September VHF contest grows ever nearer, we're starting to plan our
rove. We'd love to find a spot near I-395 in CT or in the NW corner of RI
in FN41. Most of the places we find are pretty populated. We've got a few
FN41 spots further South, but we're intending on ending the 'test in FN41
and the closer we can stay North in the grid the better, the sites we know
of are pretty far South or out on the cape. Something in general along the
Eastern side of CT may not be terrible either.
We're also debating just not stopping in 41 and running mobile straight
through to 51. Ending in 51 isn't great for us because of the amount of
travel time back home in FN42, but it might give us a nice end of contest
boost as people hunt for those last few mults.
Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you on the bottom 4 bands in
September.
