[FADCA] Testing Testing Testing at Clermont (> 500 ft amsl)

Indeed that is where the real interest is as what
we need to set up are links. I think if we can get
a switch going in Lakeland, that will help a bit.

While you're at it.. think of a UHF freq for 9.6kb westward from Clermont we
could try.  We have a radio on 441.05/9.6 that could be used for testing,
but that frequency is presently assigned DeLand/Orlando and the Orlando
switch is at my place on a vertical at 80 ft.  Not likely your end would
interfere with the Orlando switch at my place for testing.. What we need to
know is: where is the best target westward from Clermont going to be for
9.6kb backbone 24/7.

Point your UHF or vhf beams to 28:33:48/81:44:35
