Ken, David, et al, other reasons for finding and selecting the Antenna site
was over concerns about the Sentinel site concerning the same issues that
are driving this very conversation; although not as serious - yet. Other
pluses concerned the fact that the over whelming drive was on Interstate
highway instead of a 2 lane state highway.
On a few occasions Steve Coe and I discussed holding the AAMM there. I
wasn't inclined because of location - Farnsworth Ranch was more centrally
located and drew folks from EVAC and Tucson. And as we all know they are a
big part of its success. That decision may have to be reviewed.
As far as Hovatter Norte - it doesn't seem to be nearly as large as
Antennas.

David,
I believe one of the reasons the Antenna site was chosen was because of the
hills to the east and southeast to help block the Phoenix glow. The same
reason applies to Hovatter Norte site on the north side of I-10.
As I recall there may be some acceptable sites north of the Y turn off to
Hovatter Norte. Try contacting Paul Knauth, as he knows all that area better
than anyone and would know of areas that would be suitable for the AAMM and
the ASSP.
