This is the repeater I am trying to access, 146.780, K7JEP. I have been
playing with Google Earth and getting coordinates so I can go over to my
neighbors property and stand on the ridge between our properties and see
if I can see the repeater and my house. Hopefully that will help me
locate the suspect trees.


Suspend a heavy object from a rope over level ground. If I have plugged
in the correct numbers, the repeater will be on a line drawn by the
shadow of the rope at 12:55. That is, the repeater will be directly
below the sun at that time.

Maybe you can get an idea of the path to the repeater that way.
