Yeah, I’m in Mid-Tenn, grid square EM65.

Sounds like you have, or had, a dream site. I’m on a hill, (no doubt nowhere near what I suspect is your elevation), but the terrain is strange. Move a foot one way or the other and you’ll get or lose most of the targets you want to hear. But of course there’s more than enough Alabama traffic to go around since you don’t live there. :)

I used to subscribe to MT back in the late ‘80’s to early ‘90’s. After a while it got boring from what seemed repetitious so I dropped it. It was always better than “Pop Comm”, though.

I live about half way up a 400 foot high ridge at about 1100 ft elevation and 1300 ft elev on top. But up on top where my property line is I can see The Cumberlands from NW to NE, The Smokeys to east, and smaller ranges in between. Just on a Rubber Duck handheld from there I can hit Kentucky and North Carolina NOAA Stations. My house where I live though far enough down the ridge so I can't pick up any Knoxville TV towers. The signal bounces all over the ridges.

I'll look at a MT in a book store. If it's about local areas or has something interesting I buy it.
