Jim,
DM03 apparently is a bit on the rare side these days. I know there are some who get on SO-50 from DM03, but may not work the most shallow passes that reach the east coast. It may be more rare on the SSB birds, and I'll check my log at home this weekend to see who I have worked for my recent DM03 QSOs.
I was just out there two weeks ago, and had some requests to work from DM03 instead of other grids between Phoenix and Los Angeles. I'll be back out there in early April, and - depending on my travel, and the needs/requests from other satellite operators - might be able to make my trip home a less direct route. Or I can just work more passes from DM03.
73!

If it is, I'll get on the birds more often.

The Palos Verdes Amateur Radio Club is operating from Santa Catalina Island, DM03rk through Sunday. They have been worked on SO-50 but have about a 10-12 degree horizon. DM03 is not on that often although some of it is on the mainland. Callsign is the club call, K6PV/p. 73, John K8YSE
