Tim,

Awe inspiring. I can't begin to imagine the engineering effort that went 
into the design of the whole smoosh!

Curious how the neighbors were dealt with when you started this effort back 
when. Whether one or many towers this always seems to be a point which often 
requires some really good communication other than via RF and is too often 
overlooked till to late.

Also wonder how much acreage this all sets on.

My wife is sitting here wiping the drool from my chin!!

Hello Jim:

Not flat here. I am on a hill - but not on top - I am down from the peak.
Slopping toward Europe and Japan with a quick 200 foot drop off once you get
by the north side of Interstate 80.

Tower location really does matter. HFTA is wonderful for figuring out where
things should go - many thanks to N6BV.

Some recent great drone shots of the stacks at K3LR (some at night) - thanks
to W8WWV

Tim,

As I remember after driving by your QTH on the interstate more than a
decade ago, you're in "flatland." Right?  I'm asking to help clarify for
others the applicability of your experience to theirs.
