During the Snow Bird Season we trailer camp at Roosevelt Lake's Windy Hill Campground. There are only two potential repeaters we could possible reach from that location: Pinal Peak near Globe and Mr. Ord east of Punkin Center in Tonto Basin.
It now looks 98% likely that we won't be able to reach Pinal Peak. There is simply too much topography between Windy Hill and Pinal Peak. However, Mt. Org is total line-of-sight with now obstructions and a mere 23 miles distant. So, we will spend time between now and our Snow Bird Season studying up on what sort of events we can expect from the Mt. Ord repeater.
Many Thanks to Roger Rugg for the source used to create attached graphs: https://www.scadacore.com/
The above graph is Windy Hill to Pinal Peak. You can easily see there is a LOT of topographical interference between the two locations. The graph below is our campsite to Mt. Ord. CLEAN!
