Stepping back from ANR

Don't tell me the airfield was built first, then they built houses,
then they complained of the noise :-(

You've been here?

Sadly, haven't we all?

I've never seen it on a plane, but there was a custom truck over at
the neighbors a while back. I was one color coming toward me and a
different one going away. It went through the spectrum as he went by.
Really pretty, really expensive, and probably impossible to touch up.

Interesting

I'm 4 1/2 miles directly off the end of 06 and on the centerline. My
tower is 97' with the top UHF/VHF array at 130 feet. I think I could
have gone to about 190 feet without permission, except my lot isn't
large enough to go that high.


What you need is a site like the amateur may tens of years ago.
His entire installation was up a mountain and remote controlled with a
10GHz link.

Try the same city and 521 North Clyde road. They have me on the
corner which is in the wrong place, but mine is the second drive on
the west side with the black satellite dish in back and the white car
just in front of the garage. My shop where I'm working on the G-III is
just north of the house. You can only go another half mile west before
they go into very low resolution on the map.

Are you sure your white car is still in the drive or was that somebody
driving it away :-)

There's one down in Tennessee who purchased a mountain top that was
once a military/government communications installation. He got it
towers and all and is still active.

What I need is the mountain top, towers and an airstrip.

Try the first place north of where they say I am. The car is right in
front of the garage. However the resolution isn't all that great.
There area few spots including one in the Sahara desert where you can
tell what color shoes a guy has on. One area in NJ has 2"
resolution.
