You need to make a good case for it.

6.5 km is easy.  More than that is doable if you can show public
benefit.

Looking you up ....  I don't know why you would want to do that.  A
move to a mountain top would give you worse coverage because you would
need to reduce power so much.  Be sure to get a Longley-Rice coverage
map before you make any decisions about this.

I think the best possible site for you is Illinois River Forks State
Park.  The water tower at Stage Stop Drive is also a decent site.

Call me .. 518-947-6407 .. if you want to talk about it.
