April 18, 2010 Tests Around Logan, New Mexico

First, GRULKY APRS coverage:

Next, OLDHAM PACKET coverage:

Logan itself, as I suspected, is down in a bit of a low spot. I was unable to work through OLDHAM from places in town such as the school area, Subway, Allsups, etc. But keep in mind that this was, after all, from a MOBILE station. I really think that... with a decent antenna, 20 or 30 feet high, one COULD get into OLDHAM from just about anywhere in town. We will know more when Dick, WA0OQA, makes his next visit back to his place there!

And finally, a look at the equipment I used for the Logan area tests:

Sorry... Please excuse the UNCLEANED console. The battery that you see below (with the clips) powers my PACKET TNC.

Thanks for visiting!
