[NLRS] A good 10 GHz site?

And much much closer to home:
The CN building in Toronto is 1815.5' with an average Toronto sea level of
250'
Eagle Mountain, MN is 2301'
Embarrass Mountain, MN is 1860'
Timms Hill, WI is 1951'
Doesn't really matter as several in this group have proven rain-scatter and
moisture layers to be far more effective, dispelling the absolute height as
a necessity myth.

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.
