Hi Patrick!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your GridXpeditions are appreciated by one and all. I am sure the demonstrations at the hamfests, and other events, capture the attention of possible future satellite ops, young and old alike. It never ceases to amaze me how much fun one can have, along with the challange, of trying to work for WAS Satellite or VUCC Satellite while tracking and attempting to hit, with RF, a roughly 1 cubic foot object moving nearly 17,000 MPH.

Hi!
After printing more QSL cards on Sunday and writing out almost 200 cards along with envelopes last night, I dropped a large batch of envelopes at the post office this morning. These cards cover my activity from the east coast around the recently-concluded AMSAT Symposium (Washington DC/FM18, BWI Airport MD/FM19, Bear DE/FM29), as well as Saturday's activity - the Tucson AZ hamfest (DM42) in the morning, and at or just east of the Arizona/New Mexico state line (DM52) in the afternoon/early evening.
Thanks to all who worked WD9EWK from these locations over the past couple of weeks. I enjoy getting on the air from almost anywhere I go, and the QSLing after the trip is an important part of that.
73!
