[NLRS] A good 10 GHz site?

[Donn - WA2VOI/0]

More than that...
~50 miles north of the Empire State building there are at least 4 peaks in the 
Catskills that are higher than 2X (1452 X2 = 2906').  If you go 150 miles north 
into the Adironacks, there are at least 2 peaks higher than a mile (5280').

Man-made structrure, maybe.  But even then its NOT the HIGHEST.  Tallest, maybe. 
Any skyscrapper in Denver is HIGHER.

What's the highest mountain in the world ?  Everest, at 29,000+ (Some say K2, 
but....)  What's the tallest mountain ?  Mauna Kea, which makes up much of the 
Big Island of Hawaii... 33,500: 13,800+ above sea level and 19,000+ below sea 
level.  Everest rises from a plateau at about 20,000' for a rise of only 
9,000+'.

Figures don't lie... but liars (often) figure.
