Only one more day \non the road, before I'm back home and back to the \"real world\".\n\nI started the day at Nephi, a small city at the south end of \nthe Salt Lake City metropolitan area in DM49bq. I woke up early,\nand saw that I had an overhead AO-51 pass around 1347 UTC. I \ndecided to try that, before hitting the road. I drove a \ncouple of miles/km from my motel, and proceeded to work 10\nstations. A nice start to a busy day.\n\nBefore the next AO-51 pass came by around 1529 UTC, I drove \nsouth to the town of Redmond in central Utah. I was in grids\nDM48bx and DM49ba at this location, where I worked 4 passes\nfrom here - one on AO-51, then two SO-50 passes, and finally\na shallow AO-27 pass. The AO-51 pass and one of the SO-50 \npasses (the one tha went down the Pacific coast) didn't have\na lot of stations on it, where the other SO-50 pass and that\nshallow AO-27 pass were busier. I worked a total of 22 QSOs\nfrom here, and took time between a couple of passes to survey \nmy next operating location...\n\nI drove about 15 minutes south from Redmond to another small\ntown, Sigurd. This town straddles the DM38/DM48 grid boundary,\nand I stopped at DM38xu/DM48au near an electrical substation\non Substation Road. Looking at a map with either Maidenhead\ngrids or latitude/longitude showed me I was around the spot\nwhere 4 grids came together (DM38, DM39, DM48, DM49), but I \nwould not be able to get to that spot. There has been some \nrecent activity from DM39 (I've worked AC7SU in DM39 a couple\nof times in the past 5 or 6 months), so I decided to skip that\ngrid and focus on the others in that area. \n\n>From the DM38/DM39 boundary, I worked a pair of AO-27 passes. \nEight QSOs were made on the first (eastern) pass, and 4 more\non the western pass. These passes were not as busy as the\npasses I worked yesterday from DM58/DM59 in eastern Utah, but\nat least I worked everyone on these passes that wanted to make\na QSO with me. \n\nAfter the last AO-27 pass, I went from avoiding the freeways \nto actively seeking out the I-70 and I-15 freeways. I used them\nto move toward southern Utah, and a spot on a frontage road \nalong I-15 on the DM37px/DM38pa boundary. Just like I had on my\nfirst AO-51 pass this morning, there was an overhead pass around\n0100 UTC this evening that I worked from this spot. Thirteen \nQSOs were made from DM37/DM38, as cars and trucks were zooming \nby on the I-15 freeway next to my operating location. \n\nI had planned to travel as far south as St. George in southwest\nUtah and stopping there for the night. When I got back on the\nI-15 freeway after the last AO-51 pass, I thought about what I\nmight be doing tomorrow, and decided not to stop at St. George. \nI drove about 40 miles/64km more, reaching the town of Mesquite\njust into Nevada. \n\nFor tomorrow (Wednesday), I am only planning to attempt a couple\nof passes. There is an SO-50 pass around 1448 UTC that I will \ntry to work from somewhere in DM36 a few miles/km up the road from\nwhere I am staying, across the border from Mesquite in northwestern\nArizona. I was in DM36 a few weeks back, when I worked from the \nSouth Rim of the Grand Canyon. This time, I might be able to park \non the DM26/DM36 boundary for this pass. With mountains to the \nnorth and east of that area, I may only have a few minutes near the \nmiddle of the pass (midpoint of this pass for me is approximately \n1454 UTC) to work stations. \n\nAfter lunch, I will be on the 2029 UTC AO-27 pass from somewhere\nin grid DM26. Possibly the DM25/DM26 boundary on the south end of\nLas Vegas, the spot where I worked from last year on that road \ntrip. Once this pass is done, I will hit the highway and get home. \n\nAs of tonight, I have driven almost 1500 miles/2500km, and have\na few hundred miles/km more to go tomorrow. I worked from 4 \ngrids (DM37, DM38, DM48, DM49) today, to go with the 4 other \nUtah grids I've worked from already (DM47, DM57, DM58, DM59)\nand the two Arizona grids around Williams AZ last week (DM35\nand DM45). I've worked lots of QSOs, and I know that some of\nthe calls are in my log a few times for several of these grids.\nThis trip alone won't make those 8 Utah grids significantly \nless \"rare\", but at least there will soon be QSL cards in the \nhands of some satellite operators for them. \n\nGood night, and 73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Mesquite, Nevada\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n", "attachments": [] }
