[CTSARA] Urban Hilltopping

[Franklyn A. Ballentine, jr]

Thanks for all the info everyone!!
So it looks like there are lots of high spots but most of them are
natural.  Which ain't that bad.  I'd still like a roof top or two.
Being on a roof top over looking a city or college town is pretty fun.
Might be fun to pick a spot and try one of the VHFand\or UHF contests.
If I had gear for 10 Ghz contest, I would try it.

Reason I didn't use Google Maps:
1) I forgot
2) Always wanted to work on my map reading.
