Petersburg pass on Rt 2 near the NY/Mass border is clear east and west, but not
north and south. Mt. Greylock is much better, but plan an extra hour to get
there and back.

There is an overlook along Rt 20 just inside Massachusetts that is clear toward
the southwest.

If you have any questions about specific hilltop locations in FN32, please ask,
I've been to many of them.

Hi Gang,
The K2QO rover team will be testing new spots this contest. We are starting
the September VHF QSO party on Dennis Hill in FN31 in CT. We'd like to
follow that up with a nice spot in FN32.
The only two spots in western FN32 highlighted on the N2MH site are
seemingly very dicey. FN32ja, Haystack Mt is mentioned by W1VT and FN32, Mt.
Everett is entered by W3CCX. The latter looks like it would be super to the
N and E. But the path to W3CCX looking SW looks impossible which is odd as
you figure that CCX would be sending rovers there.
We'll be taking 50-3G and would like some other ideas for FN32 spots. If we
need 2 locations, one to work half the compass bearings and a second for the
balance, that would be fine.
Help??
73,
Mark K2QO
