Microwave paths are NOT an issue in Troop B. Almost ALL connections to the remote base stations are done via leased line and have been that way for many years. Unless things have changed in Troop B, there aren't any microwave hops from or to anywhere.

note PROJECT DESCRIPTION AS PROPOSED
The project involves a comprehensive emergency communication system, a part of which will be shared by Essex County, the NYSP, and NYSEG. The system includes a microwave loop and paging and land mobile radio (LMR) antennas. Additional infrastructure proposed by other entities are also proposed as part of the system.
also note Infrastructure owned by the NYSP and, unless otherwise noted, used by Essex County, NYSEG, and the NYSP:
1.
One (1) eight-foot microwave dish antenna with radome installed at a centerline elevation of 120± feet AGL;
2.
One (1) six-foot microwave dish antenna with radome installed at a centerline elevation of 120± feet AGL;
3.
One (1) six-foot microwave dish antenna with radome installed at a centerline elevation of 130± feet AGL;
4.
One (1) eight-foot microwave dish antenna with radome installed at a centerline elevation of 160± feet AGL;
5.
One (1) ten-foot microwave dish antenna with radome installed at a centerline elevation of 160± feet AGL;
6.
One (1) 20 foot dipole LMR antenna installed at a tip elevation of 141± feet AGL and used by NYSP only; and
7.
One (1) 10 foot long interoperability whip antenna mounted at a tip elevation of 118± feet AGL. This antenna will owned by the NYSP and used by Essex County.
Sites not subject to Agency review:
Whiteface Mountain Summit
NYSP will replace an existing two-foot microwave dish antenna located inside the summit observatory with a new two-foot microwave dish antenna inside the observatory but in a different location.
Blue Mountain Tower (Wild Forest)
NYSP will change the angle of an existing four-foot microwave dish antenna located at a centerline elevation of 69± feet AGL and will remove a six-foot microwave dish antenna located at 62± feet AGL and anice shield located at 66± feet AGL.
