I like to thank all the station that contacted me, I now know the excitement operating as a rover station and the pleasure to activate not so usual grids. the operation of the satellite station was a secondary factor on this trip but I would like to thanks Ricardo Perez for his support chasing the grid boundaries, who were not so easy as we were using dirt roads that are designated for the Baja 1000 off road racers.
Gonzaga's Bay is one of the most beautiful and pristine destinations in Baja. The fact that it is so difficult to get to has a lot to do with its slow growth. Bahia de Gonzaga is approximately 100 miles south of San Felipe and about 48 tough miles south of Puertecitos. The road south from Puertecitos has long had a reputation for being one of the worst roads in Baja. Despite a new 18 kilometers of scenic highway with view points recently constructed, this road is still very intimidating to all but the most seasoned Baja travelers. In a near future they will continue with the construction all the way down to Bahia de los Angeles, which will make the access more easy and activation of those grids will occur more often.
I was using an Icom Z1A dual band full duplex with squirrel microphone connected to a power jump start battery to get the radio,s full 5 watts and an Arrow antenna both mounted on a tripod and the K7AGE's bracket, sat predictions printed from orbitron. Also the equipment consist of some Margaritas and Shrimp.
I operate from DL29,DM20 and DM21.
If you contacted me please send me an email to ki6yaa@amsat.org for QSL request, I should be printing them soon.
