Hi!
I have updated my plan for the next 3 days, driving up to Las Vegas for the NVCON convention and other non-convention radio operating in southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. The plan is...
Friday, 31 March - from 1600 or 1730 UTC until 1930 UTC, working from DM25xg/DM35ag grid boundary, north of I-40 in Kingman AZ.
Friday night (1 April, UTC time) - from around 0230-0330 UTC until at least 0530 UTC, working from DM26xt/DM36at grid boundary, east of I-15 freeway in NW Arizona and east of Mesquite NV.
Saturday and Sunday, 1-2 April - during the daytime, demonstrations from the NVCON convention in Las Vegas NV in grid DM26.
Sunday, 2 April - from sometime around 2000-2200 UTC into the evening, working from the DM24wx/DM25wa grid boundary, along the I-40 freeway frontage road, about 15 miles/25km south of Kingman AZ.
There may be a chance on Saturday evening (2 April, on the UTC clock) or Sunday (2 April) morning from the DM25/DM26 grid boundary, south of the NVCON convention in the Las Vegas area. I will try to post those plans here on the -BB, and will definitely post that to my @WD9EWK Twitter feed:
Although I try to update my log in Logbook of the World quickly, please be patient. Some of the spots I will visit may not have good coverage for my mobile phone, and I will be looking to drive a lot in the next 72 hours or so.
I will hit the road Friday morning, and my TH-D72A will squawk WD9EWK-9 on the APRS network:
APRS coverage for most of my drive to Las Vegas should be decent. I'm not sure how well it will cover me tomorrow night near the DM26/DM36 grid boundary, so looking at my Twitter feed may be the best way to know when I reach these spots.
73!
