[Fourlanders] Repeater for arrival?

[Paul Yeager]

A few suggestions for the Mile High end of the trip:

Franklin - Cowee Mtn. 145.49 -
Franklin - Wayah Bald 147.24 + 151.4 PL

Waynesville - Utah Mtn 147.39 + 91.5 PL

Mt. Mitchell 145.19 -

All of these should be workable from Mile High.

The two Franklin machines should be workable from a mobile, starting 
around the Dillard, GA area, and on into Waynesville. Not sure which one 
has the best coverage down towards GA, but I think that 147.24 has 
slightly better coverage in the Waynesville area. Both Franklin machines 
will fade as you head towards Maggie Valley from Waynesville. I have not 
tried these machines on the route from Tennessee on I40.

The Utah Mtn. machine near Waynesville has pretty good coverage in the 
Waynesville - Maggie Valley area. Approaching from Franklin on US 23/74, 
decent coverage begins when you cross into Haywood County, near where 
you pass under the Blue Ridge Parkway. Approaching from Tennessee on 
I40, decent coverage should begin around exit 15.

The Mt. Mitchell machine will become workable for those approaching from 
Franklin on US 23/74 in about the same spot as the Utah Mtn. machine - 
passing under the Blue Ridge Parkway near the county line. For those 
approaching from Tennessee, it might be workable from somewhere east of 
Knoxville to a few miles west of the Pigeon River Gorge. Coverage should 
resume in NC somewhere around Mile 18 - 20 on I40
