First time back on Wachusett Mountain since they revamped the summit. To avoid
the new large blockage due East (greater Boston,) associated with the base of
the new fire tower, I elected to set up off the summit on the Southwest edge.
From here my shot to greater Boston would not be blocked but I still had a
blockage to the Northeast and I was in the trees. I underestimated how much
performance I would lose on the higher bands by the foliage. I was unable to
QSO with stations that are normally quite workable, my totals above 432 were
way down.

For me propagation was about average until the last hour or so, when W4NH
(EM85) and AA4ZZ (EM96) popped up. We worked easily on 2m-432. One of the other
highlights was hearing K8EP (FM09) with good signals all weekend long.
