Descriptive text

Narrative and photographs

Following our encounter with New Jersey’s loudest madman (at LY0800), we thought a search for a mark in a more isolated area was in order. This mark, located just WNW of the intersection of Sussex County Road 560 and Upper Ridge Road, became our goal. The mark was simple to locate based on the historic description, although several details have now changed. Because the fences no longer exist, we recorded a measurement from the nearest powerpole to the station mark. The disk is in good condition and the date and designation are legible.
