Sorry I wasn't clearer on my location; didn't occur to me in my moment of exasperation ;-)
My coverage area centers on Pearce, AZ. I can see the flashing tower lights in Willcox. Douglas is 60 miles south, and Sierra Vista is on the other side of the Dragoon mountain range. Dragoon (the town) is just around the northern edge of the Dragoon Mtns, and is not reachable by a direct shot from my NOC, but might be with 1 hop.
