[aprssig] Mt. Washington NH coverage?

[Stan Horzepa]

FWIW, I drove up the Mt. Washington auto road with a barefoot D7 and a
1/4-wave mag-mount antenna on the roof of the land barge. There was no APRS
coverage the first half of the trip up the mountain, spotty coverage the 3rd
quarter, and good coverage the last quarter up the mountain. Coverage was so
good the last quarter that my packets were received by my APRS digi at home
250 miles to the south.
