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.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">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!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">George</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">N1YAE</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in" data-mce-style="margin-left: .5in;"><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">From:</span></strong> <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"><a href="mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com" data-mce-href="mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com">450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com" data-mce-href="mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com">450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com</a>] <strong>On Behalf Of</strong> Shawn Zupp<br> <strong>Sent:</strong> Saturday, July 19, 2014 10:37 AM<br> <strong>To:</strong> <a href="mailto:450@lists.vhfwiki.com" data-mce-href="mailto:450@lists.vhfwiki.com">450@lists.vhfwiki.com</a><br> <strong>Subject:</strong> [450] Future VHF/UHF Expeditions</span></p><div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in" data-mce-style="margin-left: .5in;"> </p><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in" data-mce-style="margin-left: .5in;">Hi Everyone,</p><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in" data-mce-style="margin-left: .5in;"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in" data-mce-style="margin-left: .5in;">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.
