    Sorry I'm late to the thread, but that's the first thing I noticed too.

    Chris, FYI, and no offense intended or implied: Hams don't broadcast. Hams transmit.

    I know this sounds picayune, but it's a pet peeve of mine. Broadcasting is the one-way transmission of information intended for reception by the general public. US stations in the Amateur Radio service under FCC jurisdiction are not by law permitted to broadcast, and have not been since broadcast station licensing started back in the early 1920's.


    ...and anytime you'd like to transmit from mountaintops, well, there are a few around here. Mt. Washington overlooking Pittsburgh is always a great vantage point (just don't get too close to the B94 transmitter... excuse me, KDKA-FM 93.7 MHz, overlooking the West End circle). To say nothing of the Laurel Highlands about an hour east of here. Make the trip, I'll even loan you my Argonaut (505) for a little HF QRP hilltopping as well...
