[450] Future VHF/UHF Expeditions

[George Andrews]

Shawn,

 

Please keep me posted on your schedule! I have a decent location for HF in New Hampshire. I have an approx. 70 foot dipole looking N/S for 80 through 10 M and ~140 foot dipole looking E/W for 160 through 6 M. I have limited VHF/UHF antennae at this point. Before the summer is out, I hope to have a reasonably effective ground mounted vertical for 80 through 12 M. 

 

I also plan on doing some high points and hill tops in NH using the FT817. My activity will be primarily on 40, 20, 17 and 10 M on an endfed or something vertical where horizontal is not possible. My first will be West Rattlesnake Mtn. in Holderness NH. Although only a little over 1200 ft., It has a really great LOS view!

Hi Everyone,

 

I"ve had the honor of making some awesome contacts with many of you during some radio adventures across the states in past years - Bob, William, Mike, Dave, several others.  And after a long layoff, I'm aiming to make another run at mountaintops/coastline spots (DX TOUR) once again....

 

I'd greatly value any ideas or input from this group for great locations/great spots that you think would be intriguing to connect from or to!  Here was my initial "hit list" - what do you think?   What would be top choices from the list below? Any other suggestions?

 

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer...
