    "content": "It took about a month to transcribe voice recordings, then print and\nmail QSL cards from my Southwest grid square trip.  This generated a\nstack of cards over an inch thick (perhaps 3 cm), and at least a pound\nof mail dropped off at my local post office on Wednesday.  Not sent\nyet are cards to Mexico (i have some software problems with Mexican\npostal addresses) and a dozen other callsigns those whose grid squares\ni've not worked from home (e.g. DM06, DM83, DO30, EM15, EM28, EM45,\nEM69, EN16, FN02, FN10, FN30, and EN90).  The latter have been sent\ne-mail and their cards will be sent out with the cards to Mexico if i\ndon't hear otherwise.  About 50 cards or letters have been sent out so\nfar (plus a few more for CM86).\n\nThe top five stations were:  \n\n   K6YK (13 grids in 16 contacts)\n   WA8SME (13 grids in 11 contacts)\n   W7JPI (11 grids in 10 contacts)\n   AI7W (11 grids in 7 contacts)\n   W6ASL (10 grids in 9 contacts)\n\nwith honorable mention to N2BX, N5AFV, KG7EZ, W6GMT, W6ZQ, VA7VW, KE5FWK, \nand WD9EWK, W0SAT, with 5-9 grids each.  Those who worked SO-50 as well\nas AO-27 and AO-51 got the best scores.\n\nMany contacts were made from grid square boundaries, and two passes\nwere done from a grid square corner.  Multiple GPS readings were used to\ndetermine grid boundaries and DM07/DM08/DM17/DM18 had a permanent marker\nwhich collaborated the GPS readings.  Most such cards also include a small\nphoto taken at/near the operating point, which might be correlated with\nsatellite images (Google maps) and/or topographic features.\n\nMost QSL cards have been uploaded to ARRL's Logbook of The World (LoTW),\nexcept those on grid square boundaries.  There is a checkmark on the QSL\nindicated whether that data was on-line when the card was printed.  (If\nanyone can help me determine how to submit cards with more than one grid\nsquare to LoTW, that would definitely be appreciated.)\n\nI was disappointed to find out that the further east i got during this\ntrip, the more difficult it was to work eastern passes on AO-51 (and to\nsome degree AO-27).  I had always thought that the problems were worst\nwhen both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of North American were in view\nof the satellite.  I'm no longer convinced that this is the case.\n\nI thinking about another trip, maybe into Oregon, perhaps parts of Nevada\nand/or Washington.  Suggestions would be welcome.\n\nAnd if after a week or so, if you reside in the USA or Canada, and haven't \nreceived card(s) or e-mail from me, please send me e-mail.\n\n\t\t         -- KD6PAG  (Networking Old-Timer, Satellite QRPer)\n\nP.S.  Special thanks to K6YK for providing third-party traffic home when\nthere was no cell phone coverage or suitable pay phones available.  (So i\nsmiled when i saw the cover of this month's QST magazine.)\n",
