There's a contingent of guys locally (central Minnesota) that think it would
be nifty to activate North Dakota during a 160 contest this winter. I think
their instincts are correct, they'd be pretty popular.
Anybody aware of a location that may have a structure to use for an antenna?
A commercial tower or defunct AM broadcast station would be perfect
(hopefully with a heated facility with flushing toilets hi hi). I've even
been pondering loading a village water tank. You never know...find the
right tap point it'd no doubt take power. I'm sure there must be a village
in ND with a flea bag hotel next to the water tank...
If you've ever been to North Dakota, you would understand how rare a 40'
tree can be. Most are 30' or less. Any ideas would be appreciated. Please
reply direct.
