Odd...   I am surprised at the number of folks who need NH...  there are 
actually a
large number of hams in southern NH.

And I work less than 15 minutes from the MA/NH border. HRO Salem, NH is 20 
(and no one there will
question what I am doing in the parking lot)

There is a large regional hamfest in Deerfield, NH (NEARFEST, formally
known as Hosstraders) twice a year ---spring and fall; an excellent 
opportunity for portable/handheld operation.
And this past summer I did spend a few weekends up in ME (Old Orchard 
Beach).

If you really do need NH or ME (or MA, for that matter), please send an 
email to <my call>  at hotmail dot com.
Put the state abbreviations you need (only) in the subject line
e.g.    ME
or
ME NH

I'll build a quick dis list and email when I am going to be on from those 
locations.
I'd rather not "open post" because I think it swamps the birds. I can do 
AO-27 now, and
I'm figuring out a good way to program the FT-530 for SO-50.
