RE: TV DXing

[<Patriotsrule417@prodigy.net>]

We hiked the mountain going up the Hopper trail from the campground.  There
are 2 towers up there, one near the summit house. the hopper trail goes
right by the transmitter building up there. I assume the big red one was for
the TV station, i dont know about the radio station's exact location, the
one near the summit house and the big red one are the towers up there.. if
you went up the cheap way (as I call it.. going up the road.. my family's
hiked it a few times) you would have to find a parking spot. You have access
to both towers easily.. the hopper trail's end  (At the summit) comes within
about 10 feet of the transmitter building with the red tower and the other
tower is right by the summit house

Really?  Then I've got a question you might be able to
answer.  The one and only time I've been on Mt
Greylock was travelling Route 2 between Athol MA and
Troy, NY very late at night.  I understand that WCDC's
tower also has WAMC's (90.3 ALbany) transmitter on it
as well.  From where you went hiking, did you get up
and close to the tower at all, or were the trails you
took a way away from the tower itself?  I've always
been curious about not only what it looks like, but if
its a really tall tower, or a relatively shorter one
that you will find especially when they're located on
a really tall mountain.

P.S - As far as TV DXing, now I'm wondering if I can
get WCDC at all from where i am here in Hyde Park.
Have to dig and see if I have any old UHF antennas
laying around here sometime so I can hook it up and try.
