    "content": "Thanks to everyone who worked me from the EM88/EM98.  This\nwas a very interesting trip to a very out of the way place in\nWest Virginia. West Virginia is very hilly/mountainous and finding\na place where there is a road with a view on a grid line is not\nan easy task.  Google Earth helps but you just don't know until\nyou get there if it's going to work out.  Fortunately the views\nwere fine and WD9EWK was able to work me easily from Arizona.\n\nThe road trip of over 450 miles began around 9:45am Eastern and\nI got there about 40 minutes before the first AO-27 pass at 1841z.  Sassafras\nis not on the official West Virginia State map but it is on Google.\nMy Garmin GPS routed me on a one lane dirt road for about 6 miles and\nfortunately I never confronted a vehicle.  The road where the operation\ntook place was paved and there was a lane next to a cornfield about 40'\nor so from the 82 degree line so I could park safely.  It was a short\nwalk over to the line to operate.\n\nIt was raining on the first pass so a poncho kept the radio and me\nfairly dry.  The antenna and microphone were exposed to the elements\nbut the rain had no adverse effect on them.  The rest of the passes were\nrain free.\n\nSeveral cars stopped; one person was curious, the other two wanted\ndirections!  One lady was looking for a church and said she had been\ndriving around in circles trying to find it.  I passed one on the way\nin and directed her to it but I'm not sure if it was the one she intended\nto visit.\n\nAPRS looked pretty good at the grid boundary as I was getting digi'd.\nUnfortunately it must have taken more than three hops to find a gateway\nsince only a few packets made it to the aprs servers.  The ISS digi\nwas off so the radio that I prepared for that purpose didn't get any\npackets through on 145.825.  Here's one that did make it through from\nwhere I was parked (close to the line but not on it).\n\n2009-09-20 22:15:56 UTC: \nK8YSE-8>APHH2,WIDE1-1,KE8NK-3,KB8CVP-7*,WIDE2,qAR,KA3PPH:=3855.94N/08159.99Wk170/000\n\nHere's a packet from West Virginia when I was almost there that\nwent all the way to Cleveland before being gated by home station,\nK8YSE!\n\n2009-09-20 17:52:53 UTC: \nK8YSE-8>APHH2,WIDE1-1,K8GPS-10*,WIDE2-1,qAR,K8YSE:=3852.47N/08154.67Wk332/036\n\nThere was essentially no cellphone coverage from this area.  Ham\nradio can really serve a purpose there for emergency\ncommunications.\n\nA total of 52 contacts were made on the 2 passes each of AO-27,\nSO-50 and AO-51.  The only real problem (which is getting worse)\nwas from simplex operations that take place on or around 145.85\nduring an SO-50 pass.  The extra power from the Kenwood V7A that\nI used helped me get through.  As always I used the Arrow antenna\nand a 7AH UPS battery to power the radio.  Using headphones and\na digital recorder made operating a snap.  Full duplex tells you\nright away if you're in the bird or not.\n\nThere were 42 unique callsigns worked; best DX was YY6IEA.  KE5GDB,\nYoung Ham of the Year, was also in the log from EL29.  I left after\nthe 2322Z SO-50 pass since it was sunset in Sassafras.  It got dark\nquickly and driving the back roads can get a little tricky.  I\nwas at home around 11:30 pm eastern.\n\nQSL cards are at the printer and will be sent to everyone who made\nit into my log.  No return card is necessary.  Don't bother sending\nan SASE.  The card design is already on my qrz.com web page.\n\nOperating from grids away from your home QTH takes some effort but\nyou will have fun doing it.  I would encourage everyone to look at\nthe possibilities around your QTH and plan an operation.  Once you\nhave it all figured out you will be confident that you can go anywhere\nand operate successfully. Thanks to all of you who already do this so\nthat we can all work something new.  And finally a special thanks to\nmy son, KD8CAO, for being there on every pass and watching the radar\nfor approaching weather.\n\n73,\nJohn K8YSE\n\n\n",
