[FLWSS] Future Rover sites

[Hendrickson, Kenneth]

I already started such a list, and published it here I believe, about a
year or so ago.  I gave the latitude and longitude for half a dozen
promising sites.  That email should be in the archives someplace.
 
I also bought from the USGS about 5-6 topo maps,  I can lend them to
whoever wants to use them for a time.  If I remember, I can bring them
to the next FLWSS meeting.

	Jim,
	  I glad to see you want to take the lead on compiling such a
list. Feel free to solicit members for information 
	and form a small committee for those interested. I guess all you
need is a set of topographic maps for FL. I think they
	are available online from USGS. Do you think you could have a
good start by the August 10GHz contest?

		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.
