[FLWSS] Future Rover sites

[Stephen Hicks, N5AC]

It's too bad that you can't stop on the bridge going over the bay south of
Jacksonville on 295 in EM90.  As I crossed the bridge, I heard a bunch of
folks on 144.2 and I called and Chuck came back and I worked him as I
crossed the top of that bridge.  Signals were back in the dirt as I went
back down to sea level.  Great idea, though!

Hope everyone had a great time during the VHF contest. I sure did. Had a
chance to visit the WA2IID rover when it was in operation here in EL 97.
Very interesting and nice! However, its operation was somewhat compromised
by site selection. I propose that the club take on the project of locating
and publishing a list of sites in the state for future rover use. Sites
should be selected based on drivability to the site and a clear view to the
horizon in as many directions as possible. With this in mind, I propose the
highway around the Port Canaveral basin, US 192 in the St. Johns River area
west of I 95 near Melbourne and the most obvious Sugar Loaf Mt all in EL 98.
There must be other perfectly good locations in other grids and counties. I
believe this list would be a great help to rovers in the next contest. Jim,
