In the course of two days, I drove 1,119 miles \nfrom my Dad's home in Massachusetts to Maine and back: 429 miles up, \n261 miles around the back woods of northern Maine searching for \nbetter-than-average operating locations, and 429 miles back.\n\nIn the process, I activated every grid square north of Bangor, with the \nexception of FN45, plus I activated FN53 in southern Maine as well. Put \nanother way, I worked 11 satellite passes to activate 7 rare grid \nsquares in two days. In that time, I would estimate that I made over a \nhundred satellite contacts.\n\nMy appreciation goes out to all who participated.\n\nIf you're interested in the actual locations I worked from, it's \nsummarized in the chart below in the order that I worked from them. The \nlatitudes and longitudes were recorded on site from a Garmin \"GPS \n12XL\", except as noted.\n\n=============================================\n\nActual Locations for Saturday, October 17th:\n\n # Lat Lon Grid Nearest Town\n-- ------- ------- ---- ----------------\n\n 1 43.979N 69.978W FN53 Topsham, ME\n\n 2 45.596N 68.535W FN55 Medway, ME\n\n 3 46.791N 68.040W FN56 Caribou, ME\n\n 4 47.006N 68.180W FN57 Stockholm, ME\n\n 5 46.854N 67.988W FN66 Caribou, ME\n\n=============================================\n\nActual Locations for Sunday, October 18th:\n\n # Lat Lon Grid Nearest Town\n-- ------- ------- ---- ----------------\n\n 6 47.132N 67.954W FN67 Van Buren, ME\n\n 7 47.132N 67.954W FN67 Van Buren, ME\n\n 8 47.006N 68.180W FN57 Stockholm, ME\n\n 9 46.854N 67.989W FN66 Caribou, ME\n\n10 46.692N* 68.015W* FN56 Presque Isle, ME\n\n11 45.988N 67.862W FN65 North Amity, ME\n\n=============================================\n\n* At the time, I was so busy driving from one operating location to \nanother that I didn't have time to record the latitude and longitude \nfrom the \"GPS 12XL\". So, it was determined later from topographic maps.\n\n=============================================\n\nYou probably won't hear me on the satellites for a while. Instead, I'll \nbe focused on completing several antenna related projects before winter \nsets in. Among other things, I need to get my outdoor satellite \nantennas back in operation.\n\nBut in the mean time, send me your list of other rare grid squares you \nneed in the northeast USA. I'll consider traveling to and activating \nany grid square in NY, PA, CT, RI, MA, VT, NH, and ME.\n\nWith winter approaching, this probably won't happen any time soon. But \nwhen the weather breaks next spring, the opportunity for doing this may \ncome again. The most requested grid squares will be the ones I consider \ngoing to first.\n\nSo, email me your grid square \"wish list\". And please put the phrase \n\"grid square\" somewhere on your email \"subject line\".\n\n73,\nRichard, N2SPI\[email protected]\n\n", "attachments": [] }
