Full NMA UV Coverange.

Here are some UV plots for my current favorite configuration as of Dec2001. I am still working on the problem, and Leonia is running his optimizations, so hopefully this is a minimum of what we can do. There are some holes at about 70 km that I'm not too happy with, so there may well be changes.
The new stations are:
  EMRTC - basically Socorro. Engineering should love this.
  RR107 - on the railroad near where Rt 107 reaches I25 south of Socorro. There is fiber along the railroad.
  AGUSTINS - The very southwest corner of the Plains of San Agustin. This one will probably require something like 12 miles of new fiber.
  COOLIDGE - A bit east of Gallup. There are major fibers there. Anywhere near Gallup would probalby be ok.
  ENGLE - Along the railroad near T or C. This would use the same fiber as the RR107 site.
  GLENWOOD - On the west side of the Gila Wilderness. The Western New Mexico fiber goes through there.
  VAUGHN - To the east. Our maps show ENMR-Plateau Telecommunications fiber there.
  TINNIE - On US 380 west of Roswell. Our maps show a Penasco Valley Telephone Cooperative fiber along that road.
