ERECTED: First packet node in Clinton, put up in February 2002. Six meter node added Summer 2003.
COMMENTS: This is the 146.910 repeater site. The node was originally put in as a secondary link for stations in and around the Clinton area. The backbone node was added to assist links between HRO & NBO and between IND & CON.
Doesn't look like it would be a very high location... until you turn around! That's Greers Ferry Lake in the distance.
