Comments by Chris, AA1VL - April, 2002

The Firetower is a quick 15 minute walk from the parking area. It's LOS to Monadnock, Pack (North & South) Monadnock, Wachussett, etc. You can see five or six ski areas in Vermont. Due to a fire there in the 40's, there are *no* trees. I'm going to make a stop there this summer for 10 GHz... if I find time to get the xverter completed :)

Antenna Bearings and Distances

Map with range rings

Map courtesy of AZ_PROJ by NA3T and NV3Z. (Each ring is 50 mi or 80 km apart.)

Maps will take from 30 sec - 5 mins on an unloaded server, depending on the amount of information plotted. Microsoft IE may time out after 3 mins.

Magnetic Declination (Variation)

Magnetic Declination, sometimes called Variation (especially in the aircraft world), is the difference between True North and Magnetic North. It is expressed in the number of degrees difference between the two directions and on which side of True North you will find Magnetic North.

(Declination was calculated on the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center web page at http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp)
