    "content": "Hi Tim!\n\n> Thanks for the update, and thanks for all of your efforts to activate grids\n> from all over the desert southwest.\n\nYou're welcome!\n\nI have tried to get QSL cards sent out quickly after my trips in the past\nyear or so.  I slipped behind on these cards, and some had mailed me\nan SASE and also received a few e-mails asking about those cards.\nI had not forgotten about the cards, and - for those contacts I made as\nXE2/WD9EWK - I knew I would need to send out cards to get some in\nreturn.  My February trip won't get me a satellite VUCC by itself for my\noperating on the Mexican side of DM22, but it could be a good start\ntoward that.\n\n> I haven't done this nearly as much as you, but I know that it takes planning\n> and some work to accomplish. It's a lot of fun to work a pass from (1) a\n> fairly nonactive grid or (2) a grid or state folks need, but the fun doesn't\n> mitigate the effort involved.\n\nCorrect.\n\nThere aren't as many resources for satellite operators to determine what is\na rare grid, unlike our counterparts in the 6m realm.  I use e-mails with some\nlong-time satellite operators and web sites like the one WI7P (ex-N7SFI) has\nto get some historical reference on grids.  For more recent times, I have\ne-mailed other operators to get their lists or maps of grids worked/confirmed\nor some feedback on the topic.  As for rare states, those seem to mirror\nwhat you would expect to find on the HF bands or 6m.\n\nTo find locations that fall on grid boundaries, good atlases or maps with\nlatitude/longitude are a good start for that.  Google Earth or Google Maps\nare great.  You can put latitude/longitude into those instead of an address,\nand then look on those maps to see how accessible a particular location\nhappens to be.\n\nFor those of us who travel beyond our home countries or territories, then\nyou must add in another step - ensuring you have the appropriate license\nor permit to operate from wherever you go.  Some countries require no\napplication, others have a permit available for free simply by applying for\nit, then there are others that want the paperwork and $$$.  For my trip to\nMexico, that country definitely falls into the last category (US$ 80 for the\n6-month permit when I applied in February, then another US$ 18 for a\n\"tourist card\" entry visa - you don't have to pay for that separately if you\nfly into Mexico).\n\n> Thank you again for your regular trips. I appreciate them very much.\n\nAfter last year focusing on working from different grids, I might try to find\nsome interesting places or places with interesting names to work from\nduring 2009.  If I get the chance to go to other unusual grids, I won't\npass up the chance.  And, yes, I'm still having fun.  :-)\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
