It was nice to meet up with you, have lunch and chat for a bit on \nyour final leg of the trip.\n\nPatrick, like I told you about Lake Mead, it is getting low, that's why I \nmade the wisecrack about the water to the waitress. :) Another 19 foot drop \nand a formal emergency will be declared and the water distribution rights \nbetween the states, as well as Mexico, will be re-written.\n\nSorry about the traffic over the dam, but the view and surroundings of the \ndam make up for any frustrations of waiting. :)\n\n\n73,\n\nJeff WB3JFS\nLas Vegas, NV\nDM26\n\n\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 11:04 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] WD9EWK's road trip - Wednesday (22 July) report\n\n\n> Hello!\n>\n> After 7 days and over 1905 miles/3066km on the road, I'm back home\n> in Phoenix. Today was mainly a travel day, not wanting to make a\n> late drive home tonight before returning to work tomorrow morning.\n> I worked two passes to help some operators get QSOs with certain\n> grids, had lunch in between the two passes, and drove about 400\n> miles/640km today.\n>\n> I started the day in Mesquite, Nevada - a small town along the I-15\n> freeway at the Nevada/Arizona border. Before leaving that area, I\n> worked one SO-50 pass around 1449 UTC from the DM26xt/DM36at line\n> just inside northwestern Arizona. DM26 is on regularly, but not\n> DM36. I figured I'd make one pass from here, handing out more QSOs\n> from there. I was in another part of DM36 in late May, operating\n> from Grand Canyon Village. In 2008, I worked from 3 different\n> spots in DM36 as part of my July 2008 road trip along Arizona's\n> borders with Utah and Nevada. I worked 7 stations across the US\n> and Canada, not a big number but pretty good for a weekday morning.\n>\n> After the SO-50 pass, I made the hour-long drive down to Las Vegas.\n> I met Jeff WB3JFS, a Las Vegas resident and satellite ham, for lunch.\n> Jeff had told me earlier that he had never worked anyone in his\n> home grid (DM26), but had worked the other grid that covers the\n> southern end of metropolitan Las Vegas (DM25). I said I would try\n> to help him, and planned to work from the DM25jx/DM26ja grid\n> boundary where I stopped last year. Jeff gave me some QSL cards\n> for QSOs we had made earlier in my current road trip, saving the\n> postage for those cards. :-) After lunch, Jeff went home and I\n> went to the south end of the Las Vegas \"Strip\" for an AO-27 pass\n> around 2029 UTC.\n>\n> In 7 minutes on AO-27, I worked 15 stations - including WB3JFS -\n> from the DM25/DM26 grid boundary. I realize that these grids\n> would not be the most rare of the grids in the state of Nevada.\n> I was not intending on going to those rare spots on this trip.\n> This stop, and the earlier stop in DM26/DM36, were made to help\n> others specifically looking for at least one of the grids at\n> those stops - and they were not out of my way for today's travels.\n>\n> After the AO-27 pass, I dismantled my portable station and stowed\n> the gear. It was time to return home and wrap up this trip.\n> Other than s-l-o-w traffic passing over Hoover Dam on the Colorado\n> River, the drive was OK. Some rain near Hoover Dam and near\n> Phoenix, otherwise a quiet drive where I could set the cruise\n> control on my truck. I made a quick stop at Hoover Dam to get\n> some photos of Lake Mead (the water level was much lower than I\n> have ever seen it in person), and held my camera out the window\n> to get pictures of the new bridge being built over the river that\n> will replace Hoover Dam as the way to cross the river at that\n> point on the Arizona/Nevada border.\n>\n> I will post a longer report covering all of my trip in a few days.\n> So far, I know I made over 250 QSOs throughout the trip, working\n> from 14 grids (DM25, DM26, DM35, DM36, DM37, DM38, DM45, DM46,\n> DM47, DM48, DM49, DM57, DM58, DM59) in 3 states (Arizona, Nevada,\n> Utah). In between the two AO-27 passes from DM58/DM59 in eastern\n> Utah on Monday afternoon, I made a quick road trip to the\n> Utah/Colorado border. I stopped at the state line to take some\n> photos, then went to the first exit on I-70 in Colorado before\n> returning to the DM58/DM59 boundary for the later pass.\n>\n> If you worked me during the past week - going back to last Thursday,\n> the day before the hamfest in Williams AZ started - and would like\n> QSL cards for those QSOs, please e-mail me with a listing of the QSOs.\n> If you're in the log, you'll get a card (or multiple cards).\n>\n> Since I operated from so many unique locations, I will need a little\n> bit of time to prepare cards. As I have tried to do in the last year\n> with my QSL cards, all of these cards will have descriptions of the\n> location for each QSO including the grid(s), name of the county I\n> was in during the QSO, and an image of my GPS receiver's display\n> showing the latitude and longitude for that location. I will\n> include the GPS image even for those cards where my location was not\n> on a grid boundary, to keep all of these cards similar in terms of\n> the information I am presenting for my location.\n>\n> Was this a fun trip for me? Yes! I've never driven beyond the\n> Arizona/Utah border area in Utah, and it was fun to see more of that\n> state. Getting on the air a lot over the past week, whether I was\n> at the hamfest or on the road after the hamfest closed, was great.\n> Generally there was good cooperation on passes, allowing many to get\n> QSOs with me in these different locations. Meeting WB3JFS in Las\n> Vegas today was a nice surprise, and I was happy to help Jeff and a\n> few others get QSOs with new grids throughout this trip.\n>\n> Time for bed. Good night, and 73!\n>\n>\n>\n>\n> Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - back home in Phoenix, Arizona\n> http://www.wd9ewk.net/\n>\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
