Blackburn Park, Pacific, MO EM48pl

 Sunday, April 19, 2026...a beautiful spring day to take a drive to check-out a potential microwave site, relatively close to our STL QTH with a reported good view to the south.  Today Debbie KC9ULA and I KO0Z made the trek to Blackburn Park overlooking the Missouri town of Pacific EM48pl.  The overlook is approximately 600 feet in altitude.  It is a small park with benches and a BBQ grill and view to the east through west.  The Ozark foothills present an obstacle towards the east south east to almost south. From our vantage point we'd be aiming into the hillside about 2 miles or so away.  Perhaps knife edge propagation may work. South to west looks very promising.  Northwest to northeast is wooded and not favorable for uW.


 
                                      Southest view...Ozark foothills may provide knife edge propagation...

                                                          Looking south towards Dallas, TX

                                                                         Looking southeasterly

                                                                         Southeast to south

                                                                          Looking south to southwest

                                                       Southeast to south south east

                                                      Approaching southerly view

                                                                          Southeast to south

                                                      View to the north...not so good for uW.
