It all started this morning when I exchanged emails with\nFrank, K5FEG and Jeff, NX9B. Both of them expressed their need for some\ngrids close to my QTH so I checked the weather outside and it looked pretty\ndecent so I decided I would activate DN30.\n\nIn August of this year while I was checking out good locations on Antelope\nIsland in the Great Salt Lake for the Perceids meteor shower I found a\ngreat spot on the east side of the island with a great take off to the\neast. Unfortunately, it was in DN30 and I really wanted to operate from\nDN31 for the shower. This morning when I found out there was some interest\nin DN30 I immediately thought of the high spot on the island that would be\nan ideal spot to access low angle shots to FO-29 to the east.\n\nSo I packed up the car with my radio gear and camera and drove the 18 miles\nto the spot I had in mind. When I got there there was a little wind and it\nwas a little cold but I figured I could withstand fifteen minutes of that.\nSince I was several hours early I drove back home and puttered around the\nhouse until it was time to leave for the island again.\n\nWhen I got there the wind had picked up considerably and the temperature\nhad really dipped, so instead of operating on the picnic table like I had\nplanned I moved the radio gear back into the car and operated from there.\nSince the satellite didn't rise into the sky very high I didn't have much\nadjusting of the antenna to do. Here is a list of the stations I worked\nthrough FO-29 from DN30vx.\n\nK4FEG, KB1RVT, AA5PK, N5JF, AC0RE, NX9B, K3SZH, KB0VXN, WB8RJY, NM3B, NX9G,\nWN9Q, K8YSE/7, and WA4NVM (I think).\n\nWell, when that was over I dashed home, grabbed a bite to eat and drove to\na park in west Kaysville, Utah in DN41aa where there was a big parking\nlot. FO-29 passed practically right over my location so I struggled to\nkeep the antenna pointed in the right direction. the stations I worked\nfrom there were...\n\nN5JF, AC0RA, NX9B, XE2BHL, W5PFG, K4FEG, K8YSE/7, AND N6FUB.\n\nWhen I got home I uploaded all the QSOs to LOTW. I will also produce QSL\ncards for anyone who wants a hard copy. Just let me know.\n\nThanks for the fun! 73,\n\nDoc, WA7HQD\n", "attachments": [] }
