    "content": "I will be embarking on a grid expedition to some Western\nStates beginning shortly after Labor Day.  The grids that I\nwill definitely operate from are:\nCN93\nCN96\nDN03\nDN05\nDN07\nDN14\nDN15\nDN20\nDN21\nDN22\nDN23\nDN48\nDN54\nDN68\nDN76\nDN78\nDM38\nDM48\nDM49\n\nThere will be many other grids on the route but I'll only operate\nfrom them if the situation permits.  This is a tent camping trip and\nthe weather will play a role in when and if I can operate.  The first\ngrid will be DN54 although there may be one or two before that\ndepending on the timing.\n\nI will be using an Icom 910H and an Arrow or Elk antenna rather\nthan the setup in my truck that was used on the Lake Superior\nExpedition.  Setup time and weather will be a factor.  I don't\nanticipate operating in darkness although it may be possible at\ncampsites.  I will be using computer control on the linear birds.\n\nWe don't have many satellites now and since AO-7 is now switching\nbetween Mode A and B, it will only be available every other day.  The\nprimary birds will be FO-29 and SO-50.  There may be some AO-73\nbut not likely.  If AO-7 is weak, I may operate on CW on that bird\nonly.\n\nI will be trackable as k8yse-9 (3g/4g) and/or k8yse-12 on RF.\n\nSometime in October I will plan a short trip over to DM63/64 if\nanyone needs those grids.  And on January 1st, 2015, I will operate\nat least one pass from FM13 in the afternoon.\n\nI don't anticipate doing LOTW for this expedition.  Cards should be\nsent direct.  If you have many contacts to confirm, a log excerpt\ncan be sent that I can sign and return to you.  Please make sure you\nindicate which grid I was in for each qso.  I plan to record all passes\nand log on paper as well.  QSO's will be confirmed sometime in\nDecember.\n\nSO-50 is our only FM bird now.  It is difficult to hear and suffers from\nQRM.  I'm sure you have witnessed a station operating from a rare\ngrid that has had trouble making qso's.  Sometimes others are not\nhearing the bird but are still calling; sometimes others are not aware\nthat someone is operating from a rare grid and they will call someone\nthat they have worked many times.  You can always work a regular\nwhen there is low activity but you and others may only have one\nchance to work a rare grid.  Please give those operating in a remote\ngrid some space to work the bird.  It is not a matter of how much\npower you run, but rather a matter of courtesy.\n\nAnother issue we have on SO-50 is QRM from simplex users.  You\nmay hear a word or two from them at the end of a valid satellite\ntransmission.  They are often very strong and can prevent us from\ngetting into a satellite.  There is not much we can do about this\nproblem but if you hear someone on 145.85 locally, please advise\nthem about the ARRL Bandplan that reserves 145.8-146.0 for\nsatellite inputs and ask them to choose another frequency for their\nsimplex activity.  Since they are not running 67 Hz PL, we only hear\nthem at the tail end of a valid satellite transmission before the\nsquelch closes.\n\nI hope to work many of you on this trip.  Good Luck.\n73,\nJohn K8YSE\n\n\n",
