Upcoming Satellite Operations

Upcoming Roves:

Quick hits:

In my inbox this afternoon from Jim, WU0I:

  • Tomorrow, Sunday, 1 September 2024, we are headed to DN48 very close to the DN48/DN47 line in Northern Montana, and I hope to activate both grids.  The current plan is to stay there through Tuesday morning, 3 September.
  • Then, the plan is to head east.  Our tentative plan is to stay near the DN78/DN88/DN77/DN87 corner on the Montana – North Dakota border from Tuesday, 3 September through Thursday 5 September.  I’ll try to activate as many of these grids as possible.
  • After this, the plan is to head East to the headwaters of the Mississippi River (Itasca State Park in Northern Minnesota), then south down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, then west across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Southwestern Colorado, Utah, and Nevada.  I’ll let you know the specifics as our travel plans develop.

I will attempt to activate both FM and linear birds, though note that my linear capability is new and I am still learning the ropes.  Frank, KJ7DZ has been helping me with this, which I very much appreciate.  Connectivity permitting, I will post the specific activations on hams.at and Frank’s new @GridChasers site.  If anyone has any specific requests, please have them email me at [email protected].

Mitch, AD0HJ will be heading up to Fargo/Grand Forks ‘this weekend’ for some more gridline fun. Look for him to activate EN06 EN07 EN08 EN16 EN17 EN18 on RS-44. Pass schedule is available on  hams.at. Looks like Friday (zulu!!) for the start?

Please submit any additions or corrections to k5zm (at) comcast (dot) net.
