Hi again!
A folow-up to the message I posted yesterday afternoon... I forgot to mention that I would be running APRS for the drive down to DM31 and back, and while I am in that area. While working satellites, I will turn off that radio, and try to keep it on in between the passes. I am going to use WD9EWK-9 as my APRS call this time, with my TH-D72A for APRS for its first real workout on APRS instead of my VX-8GR. Among other places online, WD9EWK-9 should be visible at:
I know there are some APRS digipeaters north and east of Lukeville, but don't know if the mountains to the north will block them. I know that my cell phone works down there from my previous trip, with a cell site very close to the border, so I will be able to post something to the -BB when I get down there.
73!
