So, I likely have posted statements and profiles concerning 'Knollwood 
Fire Station' that are in error.
I got 'Knollwood FS' and 'Indian Ripple FS' confused/intermingled.
John W8LRJ helped me get this understood. Thanks John.

  I have recently created profiles among MVHS, and Beavercreek Fire 
Stations 61, 62, 63, and 64.
It seems that RF links are easily possible from
  MVHS<>FS64 (Indian Ripple),
  FS64 (Indian Ripple)<>FS63 (Knollwood), and
  FS63 (Knollwood)<>FS62 (Kemp).

  If a point-to-point link was established from MVHS to FS64 (Indian 
Ripple):

  John W8LRJ and Bob N8ADO are a "stone's throw" from FS64.
Even better than John and Bob each linking on the same frequency to FS64,
one of them could set up 2 nodes with the 2nd node establishing a link 
between John and Bob.

  I suggest using Mikrotik RBSXTsq5nD devices to link.
Let us compare an existing RBSXTsq5nD link at 6.2 miles to the proposed 
MVHS-FS64 profile:

PP<>MVHS exiting link:
PP<>MVHS
-----

and below is the (much shorter) proposed link from FS64-to-MVHS:
FS64<>MVHS
