I used to have a good list but I lost my hard drive without a backup. There was a ham who went to all the lighthouses and he had a great list. He was nicknamed the "Lighthouse Rover."
W4IY-SK also had an excellent list. He is now the person for whom the Rover Recognition Award is in memory of. Between all the rovers we have had in the club, we can start to make you somewhat of a list. Rick K1DS

Subject: [PackRats-Members] List of East Coast Rover Sites

Hello all:

     Recently I asked several experienced East Coast rovers if there is/are published lists of good rover locations throughout the Eastern U.S. (ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI, NJ, NY,  PA, DE, MD, W VA, VA, N,SC, GA, FL) My take away is that there probably isn't.  I am thinking of putting together a list of good locations as a reference.
     If you know of any list or articles containing information about rover locations in the Eastern U.S., would you send that information to me?  If you know of any good rover locations in the these areas, would you give me the name of the location, 6 digit grid, means of access, hours of access, pictures of the site if you have them, and any other pertinent information about the site?
     I'd like to get as complete a list as possible, either for publication in a
conference proceeding, or online for anyone interested in casual or serious operation in a contest or sprint, or activation of a rare grid.
     Thank you for your cooperation.

73,
Chris Patterson W3CMP
