George,
It's not possible to activate NH,MA & ME at once. Mass has no border with Maine. About 60 ish miles of New Hampshire sits between the two.
(no google earth here;))

I have a brother in Strafford, NH (not a ham) - next time we go out there for a visit, I will take the radio and the Elk antenna and activate NH, ME and MA. (I wonder if there's a spot where I can activate all three at once? Oh, Google Earth...)

Hi!

Scott N1AIA has been the regular Maine representative on the FM birds for a while. When he's active, he can get through and put his state in many logbooks. New Hampshire... there's a state I did not work at all in 2011, and only 8 times since I've been on the satellites over the past 6 years. The last New Hampshire contact I logged via satellite was with WA1ZDV in October 2010, while I was at the AMSAT Symposium in the Chicago area. I've also worked N1ABA, N1XED, and N1DCG - all resident in the state, per QRZ.com - along with WA5KBH when he was up there in October 2009. I seem to catch them more often when I am away from home, as the last time I worked that state from here in the Phoenix area was in mid-2007.
