I will be in dn36, dn37 tomorrow. I \nwill try and activate dn46/56 also if time permits and work you from the \ndn45/55 line from your new grid tomorrow. I will be on so50, ao51, ao27 \nand ho68. Possibly so67 if it is on.\n\n73\nWC7V\nKerry\n\n--------------------------------------------------\nFrom: \"Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)\" <[email protected]>\nSent: Sunday, July 04, 2010 10:07 PM\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb] CO60 (or *maybe* CO50/CO60) tomorrow\n\n> Hi!\n>\n> I had planned on going to CO60/CO70 today, but could not find\n> a good spot to work satellites out there. Lots of trees, hills,\n> and being stuck at the bottom of valleys looking at obstructions\n> up to almost 30 degrees of elevation to the east and southeast\n> would have been no fun. I came back to Campbell River, where I\n> spent last night after crossing the ferry from Vancouver, and\n> went to the (very) nearby CN79/CO70 boundary. There is a\n> monument near that spot, erected by the local Rotary group, to\n> mark the 50th parallel. My GPS claimed the monument was just a\n> little north of the actual line, and I spent the day working from\n> that area. Being in Campbell River, I could simply take a short\n> drive to get lunch and not have to pack food with me if I spent\n> the day out in the forest not wanting to come back to town.\n>\n> I worked at least 13 passes, and logged at least 1 QSO on 11 of\n> them. I worked SSB and FM, shallow passes and very high passes,\n> and was able to put these grids in the logs of stations all over\n> North America. Alvaro XE2AT was *very* happy with getting CO70\n> in his log this afternoon, and I'm sure there were others happy\n> with either of both of these grids in their logs. I logged a\n> total of 77 QSOs from CN79jx/CO70ja today. Adding in the 24 QSOs\n> I logged last night from Vancouver, this is a great start for the\n> radio part of my trip. And I'm doing sightseeing, and taking\n> pictures as I go.\n>\n> Now for what will probably be the most ambitious driving I will\n> do on this trip. I will go northwest from Campbell River into\n> grid CO60 to some point where I get a good view of the sky for\n> satellite work. If there are good roads beyond the town of\n> Port Hardy at the far end of BC route 19, I may even be able\n> to get out to the CO50/CO60 grid boundary. Port Hardy is at\n> least 3 hours away from here, and it could be another hour or\n> more from Port Hardy to the boundary line if there are roads\n> good enough to drive out there. If I go out there, I have to\n> come back from there, so you can imagine the distance I will\n> cover (or visit a site like Google Maps to check it out for\n> yourself). Depending on the surroundings at the times for the\n> passes, I may stop and work some passes on my way to and from\n> Port Hardy or the CO50/CO60 boundary, for more chances to get\n> at least CO60 in logs.\n>\n>>From what I saw this morning, once I left Campbell River for at\n> least the first 70km/43 miles or so away from this town, the\n> GSM cell coverage went away. It does not pick up again until I\n> am most of the way to Port Hardy. If, for some reason, I do not\n> get to Port Hardy, the only way to know where I ended up would\n> be to work passes in the daytime and early evening tomorrow. If\n> I can get a signal on the cell, I should be able to scribble a\n> quick e-mail here announcing my location. I will have my gear\n> with me for both SSB and FM birds, and with AO-7 hopefully\n> switching back to mode B late tomorrow afternoon I may even get\n> on there before returning to Campbell River in the (late) evening.\n>\n> As for QSL cards, some have already said they were going to send\n> me a card immediately. You may want to wait until after the coming\n> week, so you can send requests for all QSOs that you may make with\n> VA7EWK in a single envelope. For this trip, I would like to get\n> QSL cards. SASEs are not required when working me via satellite,\n> and I am happy to respond to QSL cards I receive with or without an\n> SASE. I will most likely send out cards with SASEs, as I would like\n> to see if I can reach VUCC after this week coupled with the trip I\n> made to Vancouver in late 2008. It could be close.\n>\n> Thanks to all for the QSOs today. It was fun to work the passes\n> and be in 16C/61F comfort for the entire day in Campbell River.\n> Hope to hear you tomorrow from wherever I end up...\n>\n> 73!\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n> Patrick VA7EWK/WD9EWK - Campbell River, British Columbia\n> http://www.wd9ewk.net/\n>\n>\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
