Hi!
I will make a day-trip out to the DM23vx/DM24va grid boundary in La Paz County, Arizona, on Saturday, 31 January 2014. The spot I will use is a place I have visited several times in the past few years, at 34.0 N 114.21533 W - along a road north of the AZ-72/AZ-95 junction southeast of Parker, and north of Quartzsite. The weather forecast appears to have the rain clearing out by Saturday morning, and I'm hoping to be out there starting with the SO-50 pass around 1545-1554 UTC. I plan on being out there until sunset, or possibly through the SO-50 pass around 0158-0212 UTC just after sunset. While I am out there, I will work whatever satellites are passing by, including the NO-44 passes Saturday afternoon. I may also work the ISS passes around 0252-0301 and 0428-0437 UTC from wherever I happen to be, on my drive home. I *might* try to linger out in that area long enough to work the 0252 UTC ISS pass, but won't guarantee that at this time.
I will use my @WD9EWK Twitter feed to post updates while I am out there. Use http://twitter.com/WD9EWK if you want to see those updates, but don't use Twitter. APRS also covers well in that part of western Arizona, and I will use WD9EWK-9 as my APRS call sign. You should be able to see my location using a browser at http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 during my drive to and from that grid boundary, and at times during the day out there (including the NO-44 passes, if my packets are retransmitted by the satellite).
After the road trip, I will upload my log to Logbook of the World. If you would like a QSL card to confirm QSOs with WD9EWK, please e-mail me with the QSO details. If you are in my log, I will be happy to send QSL cards. No need to send me your QSL card or SASE first.
73!
