True, but it's not 6000' above the surrounding countryside. The base of Mt. Washington is about 2000' (2032' at Pinkham Notch). So the 10,000' peaks in Colorado have just as much (immediate) vertical as Mt Washington has (although there's a bit less oxygen up there, which makes tougher climbing).

Don't get me wrong, NH is not the Rockies, or the Kootenays or the Sierras, but there are some big hills here.

I think that so far the most impressive mountain I've seen is Mt. Ranier, when it's visible of course.

All of which has nothing to do with the fact that radio transmissions regularly don't go anywhere near 60 miles in NH. All that RDS stuff in the UK/Europe sure sounds nice though. Traffic and weather advisories scrolling across the bottom of the empeg screen while listening to mp3's...that would be a Good Thing.
