An update from Jim, WU0I:
By Sunday, 15 September, late afternoon, XYL Maggie (KK6DZS) and I will be in EM35 at the White Rock Mountain Recreation Area in Western Arkansas, where we plan to stay through Tuesday morning, 17 September. Even though this does not appear to be a particularly in-demand grid, I will activate a few satellite passes. I will post my activations to hams.at once specifics are known. This is also a POTA activation — US-11155.
I want to again express my apologies to the community for the blow-out in EL59. When activating RS-44 on the EL49/EL59 line on 13 September, two sheriffs, one undercover team, and a helicopter showed up 6 minutes into my pass and told me to move along. I had made five or six contacts by then, but I immediately ceased transmission when asked to do so, of course. For various reasons, I was not able to get on a working pass after that before we had to move on.
After White Rock Mountain, on Tuesday, 17 September, we plan to head west through Northern Oklahoma/Southern Kansas to southern Colorado. Some of the grids along this route seem to be more in demand, so if anyone needs them, please let me know by email at [email protected], and I will do my best to be at the right place at the right time to activate them. I will post any activations to hams.at, but these postings are likely to be last-minute.
Jim, WU0I

Received the following from Jim, WU0I. Jim does NOT do X so if you need to set up a sked or whatever, please use the email address shown below. hams.at might be worth monitoring, but there was not direct mention of it in his email to me.
