Hi!
I will head to the DM51/DM52 grid boundary in southeastern Arizona next Friday (13 March 2020), where I plan to spend a few hours working various satellite passes. I hope to be on the air from DM51/DM52 for the AO-92 pass just after 1700 UTC, but might be on earlier passes if traffic through Phoenix and Tucson - and the weather - cooperates. I will park at a spot I have visited many times over the years, west of US-191 and south of I-10, near the town of Sunsites in Arizona's Cochise County.
During my time out at DM51/DM52, I will post updates on my @WD9EWK Twitter account. These updates are visible in a web browser without a Twitter account at:
In addition, I will run APRS as WD9EWK-9 during that day. My travels should show up online at sites like:
All QSOs will be uploaded to Logbook of the World. If anyone wishes to receive a QSL card confirming a QSO with WD9EWK at DM51/DM52, please e-mail me directly with the QSO details. No need to first send me a card or an SASE. If you're in the log, I will send a QSL card.
This is not the only time I might be in this area over the next couple of months. I have two other trips between late March and early May which may allow me to visit other grid boundaries in southeastern Arizona or even southwestern New Mexico. Stay tuned... :-)
73!
