    Take care,

    I'm not close enough to Cuba but from Mt. Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Mississippi River you can "see" 5 states, some say 7.

    Here is a snap I took from just above an extruded rock formation called Chimney Rock. It doesn't really resemble a chimney from the ground but they certainly couldn't name it ****s Rock. Elevation were I was standing was about 6000 feet.

    I'm afraid the Powys repeater site is a mere pimple, about 1400ft/430m ASL, and the mast, which I understand to have been truncated, about 120ft/37m. It's had stainless steel guys and lower fittings and is shared with one or two commercial concerns, notably water.

    ^thanks for the info ;)

    Our flat is just 8 meters ASL, from there the antenna base is 54 meters above the ground level.
    But the surrounding area is flat like a pancake :D
