Attn: Northeast (MA) Laser Jammer Test 8/30/08

I think Stow will work. I drove by today and took some pictures.

It was noon on Saturday, traffic was about 2-3 cars a minute. In the morning I bet we would see even less.

There are no houses directly on the road, a couple side streets (not 4 way intersections) and those have houses that are set back pretty far. We would not be sitting in anyone's driveway.

There is a section about 1/3 mile long that is straight and flat enough, between Kingland and N Shore Drive

I know of a couple backup places in the area just in case this one is insufficient.

The Pro III goes out today 8/16 for a week in IL.

Getting it back in time for the test will be the challenge.

I have some ideas, solutions, but MY suggestion is a discussion OFF the public forum for the LOCATION of this event.

What is the danger of announcing the location publicly? It is not like we are doing anything illegal, right? And Stow has a population of under 6000, I doubt a cop from Stow would get wind of this and bother trying to stop it.

UPDATE:

Went to one of my backup locations that I have not been to in awhile. Turns out it is better than Stow. A little bit more traffic (still not very much) but the road is perfectly straight, much wider, there is a great spot at the end of a perpendicular road to park and set up the guns. Marlborough MA.

I took some cell phone pics but cannot get them off the phone (crappy Motorola W385, has bluetooth but won't connect properly to my computer).

Gmap pedometer says it is 1742ft.

What do you think, good enough to be the spot?

the road on the right goes into a trailer park (cannot see from street), the buildings under the road are apartments, but they cannot see the intersection to the right center of the picture where we would be set up.

I can't make it on Labor Day weekend unless it is going to be very lousy weather. But if you are interested in potential location on the South Shore, I did find some OK ones and one great one. I am not sure of suf Daddy's concern about public posting, so I won't mention them except to say they are in Braintree and South Weymoouth/Hingham.

I will be there unless something comes up, but it will be just me in a Chevy Cobalt SS/SC with dual head LPP's. Friend won't be able to come on the 30th.

good luck with the test guys!

Never disclose testing locations to the general public. Also, it seems that there is a US army training area that spands the entire north side of Sudbury rd. I'm no genius but I think you definitely want a different spot.

only a 1.5 hours away from me? Hmmmmm? I'll see how my workload is but I might make the trip to you guys to help out where I can. I don't really have the need to test my LI's unless its against the ProLaser III.

I got no problems shotting all the cars, or taking notes....Though my coming to the test varies on the amount of work I have law school is intense so far
