Unless that info is not actually correct and was thus not added, I think it's time for another submission! I would have driven right by the site yesterday on my way home. I can take a listen next time I'm up in Carroll...

I also have driven by the site..........literally. At the time I had visited my son in Mooresville, NC and was enroute to Bristol, VA. I had planned to exit to the I77 rest area but was focused on watching out for tailgating traffic and missed the exit and did not want to climb the mountain, turn around and drive back down. At the top of Fancy Gap I noticed a number of VSP and county units because of the Memorial Day weekend. I exited onto a main county road and then onto it's shoulder. I was in the process of setting up for Pro96Com when I noticed a SO vehicle in the distance. I had to shut down immediately as I knew he would stop and ask if needed help & if not expect me to move on. I did not have the extra time to remain in the area and had to leave.
The I77 Rest Stop STARS site was one of 10 new STARS sites planned for installation and was specifically listed in an earlier VSP document which was for the purpose of improving poor STARS comms at selected locations. Many of these new STARS sites were located in SW VA
Definitely someone closer needs to do a Pro96Com analysis of the site.
