Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
A trip up to Mt Lemmon would blow his mind. We used to do keggers there.Originally Posted by W7XF

Exactly where I'd have Chris go. Sans keg, however.

As soon as my sisters wedding is over in October, Kenny and I are planning some serious road trips. I have a Jeep, and a tent, and by God I do plan to use them extremely soon!!!!
I'd say try the Catskills or the Adirondacks but the mountains here are hills compared to the ones in the West. The highest of the Appalachian range are in North Carolina and Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains. The very remote Adirondack area has been not-so-affectionately called the Siberia of North America. In the winter, there are times when they are colder than Alaska. It has at times reached -80oF. The Catskills aren't as remote but many of the roads close during the fall-winter making areas of the park inaccessible. The Gunks, which are much easier to reach, has some of the best rock climbing east of the Mississippi River. You can still do some great mountain-topping though despite this if you have a bit of outdoorsman/woman in you. Repeaters here have better range than I thought they would thanks to the elevation and lucky line-of-sight.

See if you can get permission to set up a rooftop DXpedition on one of those buildings.

One of our locals has a repeater on top of the tallest. I wonder if he'd bring me up there?...
