[aprssig] Mt. Washington NH coverage?

[Robert Bruninga]

Use any APRS client that displays PHG ranges of digis, and
zoom in on the area and see what you see.  If yuor area of
interest is WELL WITHIN the PHG circle and there are not
obvious mountains between your area of interest and the
digi, then you likely have coverage.  

CLick on the digi, and you should be able to see if it is
WIDEn-N or New-N compliant.

If the PHG circles just graze your area, then you will have 
to do much more manual analysis of looking at topo maps
and terrain...  But at least the PHG circles show you what
digis claim to have great coverage, versus some that
are very small...   Bob, WB4APR

I'll be hiking up the SE side of Mt. Washington to Tuckermans Ravine 
this week and I have been trying to find out if  my D7 tracker will be 
heard. I'm helping with an avalanche course ( and going to due some 
skiing) and some hams at home are interested in looking over my 
shoulder.  I've tried to contact some APRS ops in the area but probably 
not far enough in advance. Anyone know if there is any APRS coverage 
there? Path that I should use other than the Wide2-2? I may try and use 
my D700 mobile as a Digi if I can figure out the details. Although I 
don't think it's location (down in the valley) will help much. Any 
information will be greatly appreciated by me and the watchers.
Thanks,
Jim
