Northern New York Contest Club

Panther Mountain Expeditionary Force- W2NNY/FN24ke

The Northern New York Contest Club usually operates under the club's call, W2NNY, during the ARRL June VHF contest from the top of Panther Mountain (elevation about 470 meters) near Fine, NY in the southern part of grid square FN24 (roughly 44 degrees 10 minutes North, 75 degrees 7 minutes West).

Here's a map showing our location:
