    "content": "Hi Everyone,\n\nYesterday's mini grid-expedition to grid square CM89 was a lot of fun.\n I live in grid CM88 (between San Francisco and Sacramento), so CM89\nwas only an hour north of me and easy to get to.   We drove up to\nColusa in the morning, and I was able to get my QRP-portable equipment\n(twin FT-817ND's and an Elk antenna) set up at around 11:30am local\ntime, just before the first of six passes.\n\nSatellite SO-50 came by first at 19:44z, it was a nice easterly\nascending pass and I made around 5 QSO's with good sigs.  I then had\ntime for lunch, and the next pass was AO-27 at 20:38z with good\nsignals as well; I made 8 QSO's on that bird.  At 21:24z SO-50 came\naround again, this time to the west, and I was able to get a few more\nQSO's in.  Next it was time for AO-27 to come around again at 22:18z,\nalso to the west, and I made a couple of contacts there.\n\nAt 22:33z FO-29 came by on a low easterly pass, and I had a super\ndifficult time hearing my downlink on this one!  One big problem was a\nhuge \"POP\" a few times a second, which kept resetting the AGC in both\nthe radio and the one in my ears!  I only figured out after the pass\nthat the noise blanker (NB) on the '817 did an awesome job at removing\nthis popping noise.  Another issue was my location, next to a local\ncasino, turned out to have a huge amount of RF noise -- guess\nthousands of \"gaming machines\" tends to generate some interference!\nAll in all, I made no contacts on FO-29, but heard a number of\nstations coming back to me faintly ... I just didn't have enough\nreceive sensitivity between the pops and the slot machines to pull\nthem out.\n\nFinally at 23:14z AO-51 came by, and I was able to make around 10 nice\nQSO's on that bird.  Yes, AO-51 was crowded, but like others have said\nrecently, no more crowded than many days on HF.  With just a bit of\npatience, it wasn't a problem at all to make contacts yesterday on\n'51, even on a mid-day easterly pass.\n\nOverall, the day went well. It was fun to work the six passes in\nrather quick succession (about 3.5 hours from beginning to end).   The\nweather was beautiful (sorry Patrick, no earthquakes, power failures,\nor lightning strikes), and it was a nice day to be sitting in the back\nof the pickup truck playing with the sats!\n\nLessons learned:\n1)  Remember to double-check that tracking software is set for new grid square!\n2)  The noise blanker on the FT-817ND works wonders.\n3)  Plan to choose a radio-quiet location next time!\n\nFor anyone that worked me and wants QSL cards, just send me one and\nI'll send you one right back.  I'll head back out that way in another\nfew months in case anyone missed me.\n\n73 de Dave KB5WIA\n",
