Geee - I looked at a topo map for N6BV but that was a
long time ago. As I recall to the west maybe lose 50ft in
a mile but then it came back up. Like a said gently rolling.
I dont recall anything around that any higher but nothing that
much lower either.

Two 25g towers. I think that you could improve on it
by putting up two more antennas up at 35' on each tower.
I still think it would be fun to put up four or even better
eight 15m yagis towards japan/china - if I get the chance
I might just do it somewhere.
At W5KFT I am going to try two th-7s at 70/35 - this
should be good for JA on 10 and 15 and will also
make a great SS antenna for the west coast on 20/15/10
so maybe by next year I will be LOUD out west.
