Good conversation between Mt. Monroe and Mt. Moosilauke during the event!

We had line-of-sight to Monadnock and could easily have communicated via simplex. And yes, you can hit the Mt. Washington and the Cannon Mt repeaters from Monadnock.

Let’s see if we can enlarge this ham radio effort for next year. 73 de WR1A

Generally, folks just march up the Ammo from either the trailhead parking lot, or the Cog station ($5?), starting ’round 8:30 to 9 a.m., pausing at Lakes Hut, and summiting for 11:30 or so to raise Ole Glory.

It’s pretty relaxed…

Cheers,

We will play “Ashokan Farewell” in your daughter’s honor atop Mt Monroe at 1:00 p.m., Jim.

It was great to have you atop Monroe with us in ’04. Our condolences during these impossible days.

Hey Jason, we’d welcome you over on Monroe. We’ve been playing clarinet up there since 2002, often to accompany a vocalist or two. The trumpet could sound SSB and taps nicely.

‘Had heard of the effort in its first full-48-peak year, but had forgotten about it.

By chance, I packed a clarinet and headed up to Mt. Monroe one Saturday with Susan when I noticed a gentleman ahead of us who clearly had what could only be a pole. I knew right away we had stumbled into a tradition that would outlast our legs.

We’ve been atop Monroe annually ever since, playing music with all comers and enjoying the company of fine friends who frequent this special hilltop.

We invite musicians and vocalists to join us atop Mt. Monroe this year for song and remembrance on this, our ninth year atop one of the East’s finest.

I think it said 2004…not positive, though.

Good for you, and congratulations.

Better that you address the needs of tomorrow than the regrets of yesterday.
