    "content": "\nHi!\n\nSorry for the delay in posting this.  It's been a busy week since\nthis quick trip to a hamfest in southeastern Arizona and the post-\nhamfest road trip I took. \n\nThe Cochise Amateur Radio Association had its annual Larry Warren\nHamfest at its \"Green Acres\" field in Sierra Vista.  I was at this\nevent last year with an AMSAT table, and made a return trip this \nyear.  This is not a large event, and - like many hamfests here in\nArizona - wraps up by midday.  During the morning, I did 4 satellite\ndemonstrations (2 on AO-51, 2 on VO-52), plus listened in on a \nscheduled ISS contact.  \n\nThe first AO-51 pass, at 1335 UTC, had 14 QSOs - 5 Mexican stations,\nand 9 stations from all over the US.  After that, at 1514 UTC, the\nsecond AO-51 pass had 5 more QSOs (2 Canadians, 3 US stations).  Then\nthe ISS passed by, and we listened to half of a scheduled contact.\nThis is always fun to do, even if the questions are very similar\nfrom contact to contact.  Later in the morning, I worked 2 VO-52 \npasses, logging 5 QSOs on those passes to complete the satellite \ndemonstrations.\n\nAgain, thanks to the Cochise Amateur Radio Association for allowing\nan AMSAT table at their hamfest.  It was nice being down there once\nagain.  Thanks also to the stations that worked WD9EWK on those 4\npasses during the hamfest.  Having stations on all those passes to\nwork makes the demonstrations successful.\n\nAfter lunch and spending a couple of hours in Sierra Vista, I drove\nabout 60 miles/100km to the DM51bx/DM52ba grid boundary.  I was at\nthis spot after the same hamfest in 2008, and made a quick stop here\nlast month.  This time, I planned to stick around for 2 AO-51 passes\nfollowed by one SO-50 pass.  This was a productive stop.  :-) \n\nThe first AO-51 pass I worked, starting around 0042 UTC, was busy.\nLots of stations from all over North America.  Even an Alaskan \nshowed up at the end of the pass.  In all, I worked 17 stations - \nthe Alaskan (KL7XJ - thanks Dale!), a Canadian, 4 Mexicans, and \nthe rest were spread out all over the US.  The 0222 UTC AO-51 pass,\nto the west, had a good turnout as well.  Nine QSOs logged, from one\nMexican to two Alaskans.  SO-50 at 0305 UTC only had 4 QSOs logged,\nbut came close enough to the last AO-51 pass so I waited for it before\nmoving on.  With 31 QSOs in the log on these 3 passes, it was time\nto move on.  \n\nSince the I-10 freeway was closed through the center of Tucson \nduring this weekend, I used that as my excuse to repeat the drive\nI took in April after the Tucson hamfest I attended.  I drove \nnorth along US-191 toward Safford AZ, then on US-70 followed by \nUS-60 to get back to the Phoenix area.  With this route, I would\ncross the DM52/DM53 grid boundary again.  It was 90 miles/144km\nfrom the DM51bx/DM52ba grid boundary to the DM52ax/DM53aa boundary\nalong US-70.  Google Maps says this is a 104-minute drive, and I\nmade it in 90 minutes - keeping to the speed limits on the various\nhighways the whole time.  I made it to DM52ax/DM53aa about 2 minutes\ninto an SO-50 pass starting at 0445 UTC, and logged 5 QSOs to finish\nmy operating for this day.  Three hours and 150 miles/241km later,\nI got home at 0100 local (0800 UTC).  Including the drive from Phoenix\nto Sierra Vista the night before the hamfest, I drove a total of \n555.5 miles/894km for this hamfest and the post-hamfest stops.  \n\nIf anyone worked me on 2-3 May and needs confirmation for any QSOs\nlogged with WD9EWK, please e-mail me directly with the QSO details.\nIf you're in the log, I will mail a card.  The next hamfest I will\nattend with an AMSAT table will be on 30 May in Prescott AZ (grid \nDM34).  Hope to hear you on during that hamfest - and on passes \nlater that day, from wherever I might visit on my way home. \n\n73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n",
