>    The good news is that there is
FREE detailed terrain data available via download for most all of the
continental US available from the USGS, as well as a nifty Freeware program
called Microdem..."

K6TU now offers a free automated service that produces terrain radials in 
1-degree increments in NED 1/3 arc-second resolution.  He has taken more 
than 90% of the work out of the process.  In fact, neither map data imports 
nor Microdem is needed, only HFTA.

After free registration, click on "NEW," then "TERRAIN ANALYSIS REQUEST." 
The a link to the result is sent via e-mail.  Extract into a folder, start 
HFTA, then tell HFTA the location of the files.  Done.

You're now an HFTA power user.
