[TowerTalk] [CQ-Contest] Maine Contest Site For Sale

[David Robbins K1TTT]

This would seem to be the location if the realestate map is anywhere near
close.  Odd, not all the way at the top of the hill... and not far from a
rather large bog... can anyone say noseeums??

http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=45.45449&lon=-67.73912&size=l&u=4&datum=
nad83&layer=DRG

is funny, the ms live earth satellite photos don't line up right in that
area.  And the google earth satellite is pretty bad also.  Probably not much
call for survey info up that way.
