The short of it to all the other readers is that Kevin and I could not talk on VHF between our houses but we could talk on 10m SSB with 50+ watts. <div>I’m very sure that we can find a site in between us that both of us could reach. </div><div><br></div><div>This is an interesting map. Best if enlarged to 1080 pixels top to bottom. It shows the hams that I think may be interested in making something happen with a first cut Amateur Radio packet network. </div><div><br></div><b style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/taddmap2014">http://tinyurl.com/taddmap2014</a></b><div><font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b><br></b></span></font><div apple-content-edited="true">
