the north end of Seattle and can loan you enough to test Gold, but it wouldn’t be good for a permanent setup (not enough gain).<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; color:rgb(31,73,125)">The real key, absolutely essential, is VISIBLE LINE OF SIGHT to one of the sector panels. If you can look through binoculars and see the site, you can hit
it. If not, it is very unlikely you could get a usable shot (unless you were very close). Your best shot, if you have it, would be Beacon. Second choice Capitol Park. Gold is a long distance, and there is another tower partially blocking the HamWAN sector
aiming at Seattle, but several people in West Seattle have a good shot at Gold. I’m shooting at Gold, and get a very poor signal (using a 2 foot dish at my end). Part of the problem is I’m right on the edge of sector 1 and sector 2 (the sectors are 120 degrees
wide, and signal at the edges is poorer than closer to the center). Part of the problem is Gold sectors have down-tilt, they are aimed down toward the area surrounding Gold on the peninsula, so Seattle is above the peak of the signal. And the last part of
the problem is the blocking tower I mentioned. A person on Queen Anne has a beautiful view of Gold, but a relatively poor signal (usable but not fantastic). For all of these reasons, Gold is a last choice from Seattle if you have any view of Beacon or Capitol
Park.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
