I have a brother in Strafford, NH (not a ham) - next time we go out there 
for a visit, I will take the radio and the Elk antenna and activate NH, ME 
and MA.  (I wonder if there's a spot where I can activate all three at once? 
Oh, Google Earth...)

Hi!

Scott N1AIA has been the regular Maine representative on the FM
birds for a while.  When he's active, he can get through and put his
state in many logbooks.  New Hampshire... there's a state I did not
work at all in 2011, and only 8 times since I've been on the satellites
over the past 6 years.  The last New Hampshire contact I logged via
satellite was with WA1ZDV in October 2010, while I was at the AMSAT
Symposium in the Chicago area.  I've also worked N1ABA, N1XED,
and N1DCG - all resident in the state, per QRZ.com - along with
WA5KBH when he was up there in October 2009.  I seem to catch
them more often when I am away from home, as the last time I worked
that state from here in the Phoenix area was in mid-2007.
