[HamWAN PSDR] New - not connecting Tiger Mtn

Sun Sep 12 00:05:45 PDT 2021

You are correct, I wrongly assumed the site was located in West Tiger. I
attached a elevation plot from my house to east Tiger and some mountain
might be in the way. BTW - I’m in a fringe area for the PNWDigital DMR East
Tiger repeater. I’ll try the tilting the world trick on google earth,
didn’t think of that.

Left side of plot is east Tiger and I’m on the right side.
