I know Randy and, in fact, saw him just last week. I
am not sure what the status of Lake Placid is at the
moment. John, Doug and I did meet with Ben Henley from
the Highlands County EOC about installing a
FPAC/telpac site on a county tower but I do not know
how the meeting finished as I had to leave. Randy
should be able to reach my site via the KN4YT-8
Brownsville switch on 441.025. I know this is a
backbone frequency but it is the best port I have to
offer. He can try W4MIN-8 on 145.690 but the range is
limited as the antenna is only 100' up.
