    "content": "Hi Allen!\n\n> When attempting to make a contact on the sats one of the customs\n> is to add \"handheld\", \"portable\", etc. to your announced call.  Would\n> it make sense to start a new custom of adding \"Roving\" or \"Grid\n> Expedition\" or something similar when transmitting from a rare grid.\n\nIn my opinion, this would not make a lot of sense.\n\nSimply identifying your station, along with a brief description of your\nlocation (nearest city/town, county, or something else that does not\ntake too long to say) along with your grid locator(s) should be enough.\nYour location, not the type of station or operation, is what others\nneed to hear about your activity.  Saying \"roving\", \"grid expedition\",\nor even \"handheld\" takes up a little more time on a pass without\nconveying anything about where you are.  If you are required to say\n\"portable\" or some other indicator to comply with the regulations for\nyour license, by all means do that.\n\n>  This could alert everyone to let that station have some priority in\n> making contacts during that pass.\n\nAlthough it would be nice to allow the grid expeditions some priority\nduring satellite passes, this is - my opinion - an unrealistic expectation.\nOn AO-51, if arrangements are made in advance, one could get the use\nof a transponder like K5D had earlier this year.  Otherwise, you take a\nchance whenever you go on a grid expedition and work the FM birds.\nNot everyone working the FM satellite passes may be interested in the\ngrid expedition.\n\nIf you are working a non-FM satellite like VO-52 or AO-7, you could\npick a clear spot on the passband and stay there throughout a pass.\nIt would probably be best not to park near the center of the passband,\nwhere many (most) tend to hang out.  Move a little lower (for CW) or\nhigher (for SSB), find a clear spot, and operate there.  Take advantage\nof the passband and the ability of these satellites to support multiple\nsimultaneous QSOs.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
