WARNING!  I'm sorry, but a lot of the stuff below is getting out of date.  I am moving station hardware descriptions to a new Wiki based set of pages at: http://wiki.k1ttt.net.  This page will be phased out as i get the stuff moved to that area.

Towers, Antennas, etc


VRML Tour

VRML Tour of K1TTT   Download the Cortona3D Viewer from  Parallelgraphics.com so you can view the VRML file.  Outline of my property is the only area represented at this time. Maybe I'll add the surrounding area later.  Click on the 'Sun' (you may have to look up from the starting view to see it) to get an automatic tour.  There are viewpoints defined at the base of each tower that you can select with the view buttons or by right clicking to get the popup menu.  Clicking on the towers takes you to the page for the tower description.

Driving Directions

From NYC: From the taconic parkway exit at rt-295 (1 exit before tolls). Follow rt-295 into Massachusetts to rt-41. Turn left on rt-41 then right on rt-20 into Pittsfield . At the intersection of rt-20 and rt-7 in Pittsfield follow the signs to rt-8. (continue below)

From ENY/Pittsfield: Take Rt-8 South out of Pittsfield , though Dalton , to the traffic light in Hinsdale . Turn left on Rt-143. Go 3 miles, turn left on East Windsor Rd. (big green sign). Go 3 miles. Turn left on Baumann Rd which is the dirt road on the left in front of the big grey house with white pillars. STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! I am 1000' up the road on the left. DO NOT PARK ON THE ROAD! THE SHOULDERS LIKE TO EAT CARS!

From RT-2: turn south on rt-112 west of Greenfield .  Take it south to rt-9 and turn right... follow directions below.

From RT-91: Take Rt-9 to the Windsor town line, take the first left at the big sign that says 'To RT-143 Peru'.  Go down the hill, cross the bridge, straight across the intersection.  Go about 1/4 mile and take the first right.  Go 1/4 mile and take the first left (Pierce road)  watch out for the sharp turn after the little bridge.  Follow the winding road until you go down  a  long hill.  Where the paved road turns left you go straight up the dirt road, I'm 1000' up the dirt road on the left.
STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! DO NOT PARK ON THE ROAD!
