Subject: Proposed Location for June VFH

 

Well I have been looking and found the spot I believe I will operate from in
June.  It is on a hill named Beacon Hill on Google Earth.  I will be 5 miles
east of Animas, NM on Hwy 9 and about 2 miles south of the Hwy.  The Lat/Lon
is 31 55' 26.29N and 108 42' 01.47W.  On Google Earth you will first see a 4
square array it belongs to FAA and next to it is a Verizon cell tower.  I
will have good phone and internet from my personal hotspot.  If you look
southeast of the 4 square you will see my personal protection.  They man
that hill 24 hours a day.  They now have one of the big trucks that has
daytime and nighttime cameras on it.

I'll see if they will let me take some photo's.

 

I plan to be there and active on the 4th that is the Sat before. I should be
up and running about 7:00am Mountain Time.  as we are 1 hour behind you
guys.  Hopefully the bands work there OK.  Primary will be 6 meters and also
20 meters.  On 6 will be calling at 50.125 and moving up probably to about
50.145.  On 20 meters I will be on the County Hunters Net at 14.336.  Or
will just be calling cq from around 14.250.  I plan to stay as long as I can
that day.  Would like to get good test on the location.  

 

I will probably go up to the Gila Cliff Dwellings the following week and
operate NPOTA.  Depending on when I get to come home I might go over into
Az. and operate from another National Monument.  The Chiricahua National
Monument.  Located just across the border of Az. from where I will be for
the VHF Contest.

 

Hope to work some of you guys soon.
