Hi Lynn......

"Lots of mountains" is "NOT BAD NEWS" in my book!   I would think you have
the best of all worlds with possible paths between Mts Rainier, Adams, St
Helens,  & Hood and points in between..... I've not been up on Baker, but
all the others have numerous good sites in various directions...easily
reached by hard top roads....   I get out that way occassionally and often
think about trying to find some way to get a dish on an airplane...   From
my way of looking at things, the fun on 10 ghz is out roving in the
field.....or, in your case, "mountains"!   Hope to hear about your activity
out there soon!
