[amsat-bb] Road trip 11/12 to 11/16
I'll be on the road this week between Florida and Denville, New Jersey, and willing to put any needed grids on the air. My intended route up is I75 to I10 to I95 to I77 to I81 to I80. I might modify that on the return trip and depending on nearby requests. If you have a need along that route, drop me an email. I'm QRV mobile on FO-29, VO-52, AO-7B, and SO-50. 73, Drew KO4MA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] ROAD TRIP AGAIN
I will mail QSL cards to all my contacts on my portable operations the first week of October. I also uploaded today's DM56 San Juan County New Mexico contacts into LoTW showing the correct grid and location for me. I'll go back and see if I can change my previous LoTW entries to reflect the actual grid I was in. I'll try to be in as many different grids this month as I can until it starts snowing (which it already has in the high country). Jim Adams - K0BAM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

I'll be portable working AO-27, AO-51 and SO-50 from DM58 and DM69 for the next few days. Can't really say what passes, but will work as many as possible from my 10,000 foot perch.

[amsat-bb] Road Trip
I'll be QRV from the mostly wet grid square EL86 during the AO27 pass starting tomorrow at 20/1846Z; VOX starts at 1852Z. From there, I'll overnight in EL96 and then head for two or three days in the Keys where I'll put out EL94 and EL95 on the FM birds. Since my XYL is with me, I may not be on during every pass, but I'll be on when possible. While we're at Key West, I'll also be looking into the boats that make daily tourist runs to Fort Jefferson in EL84. We won't go there during this visit, but we're thinking about doing a short camping trip that would of course include the sat gear. Afterward, we'll be heading up to Georgia for a few days where I'll be on from EM81, EM82, EM90, EM91, and EM92. CU on the birds. 73, Jim, ND9M ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Road trip this weekend
Hi all, My visit Thursday thru Sunday to my friends lake house in EM46 just finished. With a little Geo Cache trip Friday and a road trip Saturday afternoon, I worked quite a few stations from EM35, EM36, EM37, EM46 and EM47. As a few stations have already done, if you worked me and want a QSL, please send me an email with the date(s) and time(s) of our contact and I will be glad to send you a card. You can get some real strange looks from the locals driving by at night, with an ELK and HT laying on the hood and a Laptop display glowing in the vehicle in the middle of nowhere. Hey Bertha there's a UFO hunter over there. 73 to all, Rick - WA4NVM ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Road Trip finally comes to an end
Have arrived at home base now, so can get back to somewhat normal operations. I would like to thank all the ops who I worked while on this 16 day cross country adventure while operating in the following grids: DM26, DM65, EM25, EM45, EM63, EM73, EM70, EL79, EM40, EM00 and last but not least DM91. I have a stack of envelopes on my desk now to answer with return cards for your efforts, and also I think I have the ones that came via eQSL.cc all confirmed as of yesterday. I think the 2 prized Grids were EL79 and EM00. So, please bear with me and I will get the cards out ASAP. Again, thanks to all for giving me some challenges using the Yaesu FT60 HT and the ELK L.P. yagi, handheld. Funny though in all the RV parks I was in and operating, not one person came up to me and asked me what I was doing !! They all looked at me funny though. Oh, acouple of highlights of the trip was first the visual observation of the ISS on a pass over the Mississippi River which was something, as ! alot of the RV'ers were wondering what we were looking at, until I explained it, and then they all got a gander of it. Secondly, was finally meeing Glenn AA5PK eyeball to eyeball. Thanks for being a host and for letting me give a demo at the San Angelo Radio Club meeting of satellite ops. Was nice of AO-51 to be overhead at that time. See everyone back on normal shift now at home.. 73 de John W6ZKH DM06 ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Road trip to FN56, FN57, FN66, FN67, etc.
While visiting Massachusetts from October 15th to 20th, I plan to make a side-trip to Maine for the express purpose of working from some rare grid squares. The big unknown right now is if the Maine weather will permit this. Permit means no rain, no snow, and temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, there's a Plan A and a Plan B. Plan A is to leave for northern Maine on Saturday October 17th, come back on Sunday the 18th, and work from FN53, FN56, FN57, FN66, and FN67. Otherwise, Plan B is to leave for west-central Maine on October 17th, come back on the 18th, and work from FN53, FN45, and FN55. For additional flexibility, if the weather looks better for Monday October 19th, either plan could shift to the 18th and 19th. Since I'm attempting so many grid squares in such a short time, I'll be looking at working just about every favorable satellite pass on all available satellites, AO-27, SO-50, AO-51, and VO-52. Just before leaving for Massachusetts, I'll get a more accurate picture of the upcoming Maine weather, decide what I'm going to do, and post a specific schedule. 73, Richard, N2SPI ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Road Trip to EM00 and DM90.
This morning I am in EM00 and worked the 1244z AO51 pass. John K8YSE wants me to pack my bags and go West to DM90, so this afternoon on the 2351z pass I will try and be in DM90 for those that need it. I am here 2 days, and plan on working all 3 FM birds one time or another. John W6ZKH ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Road Trip to DM90 C.I.P.
The planned trip to Grid DM90 is off for the time being. Got to investigating the map, and it will be a +100 mile one-way trip, which is abit out of the way at the moment. Depending on how we go home West from DM91, will depend if I hit it. Sorry for getting hopes up. Will be on EM00 at the 2351 utc pass. John W6ZKH ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
