Paul, My waypoints are in WGS 84. I took a waypoint for a 127' Quercus rubra and another for the 20.5' cbh poplar. In between the two is a 150+ poplar I did not way point. I could use ArcGIS to convert the projection to NAD83State Plane NC 3200ft and email it too you as a .shp or a kml file (if I could figure that out) if that would be helpful. I probably wouldn't get to it until monday. If a WGS 84 projected file would be good enough, I could send that to you very easily.
Anything anywhere near 171' would be phenomenol!
