    "content": "Hi!\n\nSaturday was a busy day. Starting with the White Mountain Hamfest \nin Show Low, Arizona, just after 0500 local time (1200 UTC), to working\nseveral passes from along I-40 and old US-66 at the DM54/DM55 grid \nboundary in the afternoon, to the driving up to the hamfest Friday \nevening and back home Saturday evening, it was another fun trip. \n\nThe Kachina Amateur Radio Club has held its White Mountain Hamfest\nfor many years in early June in Show Low, and this club has graciously \nprovided AMSAT space at the hamfest.  I had my table, complete with \nAMSAT banner and merchandise, ready for the official start of the hamfest \nat 0700 local time. I also had my station ready to go for an FO-29 pass \nan hour earlier, which was a demonstration for a few people who were \nalready wandering around the hamfest site (parking lot for Show Low \nCity Hall).  I worked passes on FO-29, VO-52, AO-73, and SO-50 \nduring the morning from here, and many thanks to the operators across\nNorth America for calling WD9EWK and being a part of the on-air\ndemonstrations.  It didn't hurt that the hamfest is in a grid locator not\nheard often on the satellites, DM44.  \n\nThe hamfest was wrapping up by noon, and I took advantage of that to\nget lunch before making an hour-long drive northeast from Show Low to\na point along old US-66 and the I-40 freeway that straddles 35 degrees\nNorth latitude - the line between grids DM54 and DM55, two more grid \nlocators rarely heard on the satellites.  This spot is about 50 miles/80km\nwest of the New Mexico state line, not far from the town of Holbrook\nand the Petrified Forest National Park.  I have been to this spot in the past,\na parking lot for a (now) former souvenir shop east of a freeway exit. \nAfter setting up my gear and taking the obligatory (for VUCC purposes)\nphotos of my station with a GPS receiver, I also took pictures of some\nwandering visitors - cattle - around the property.  Then it was off to working \npasses on AO-7, FO-29, VO-52, and LO-78 (it was still LituanicaSAT-1 \nwhen I was up there). I also took advantage of an ISS pass to use my \nTH-D72A HT to show my location via APRS - something I did as part of \nthe demonstrations at Dayton a few weeks ago.  Even on the high \ndesert at almost 5300 feet/1615m elevation, it was still warm in the \nafternoon (around 96F/36C at one point).  \n\nOnce I wrapped up the DM54/DM55 operating, I packed my gear, drove \nwest on I-40 to find some dinner, and make the 4-hour drive from up there \nback home. Not much to see at night driving through a couple of national \nforests, other than some elk near the road - and one crossing in front of \nme.  Almost 500 miles/800km in about 29 hours, and going from the 96F\nheat at DM54/DM55 to around 50F/10C in the forest on the drive home.  \n\nFor anyone who worked WD9EWK on Saturday and would like to receive \na QSL card, please e-mail me directly with the QSO details.  If you are in\nthe log, I will gladly send you a card.  No SASE needed.  Other than the \nQSOs on LO-78/LituanicaSAT-1, I have uploaded yesterday's QSOs to \nLogbook of the World.  The LO-78 QSOs should be uploaded shortly, \nnow that ARRL can enable this satellite in LOTW using LO-78 instead \nof LituanicaSAT-1. \n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n",
