On the way back from Pittsburgh (the little California one) to Dixon
(the very little California one) via Cal. Hwy 113 (smallest red line one
can discern on map), I noticed a site with a bunch of metal towers and
wires just north of Rio Vista, Ca. (you find it).
I took the side road to go get a closer look and came to a locked gate
next to the sign that said "80 Acres For Sale" with a Bay Area area code
tel. number.
I think this is an old VOA relay site. It has about fourteen towers on
it - most of which support rhombics?. A couple of the towers look to be
over 100 feet tall.
There's a building on the site which probably qualifies for a N2RM
shack.
This place is kitty corner from N6RO's. - 20 miles?
What an opportunity for one with the resources!!!!
