Paul,
You could give us a run, if you had that week off. Isn't July in Washington a good time of year to be away from the office? ;-) You'd have chances to work Europeans and even South Americans as W1AW/3. Geography is in your favor to get those DX stations, compared to being here in Arizona.
It was mentioned in a private e-mail that Tennessee and New Mexico are active on HF as W1AW/4 and W1AW/5, respectively, today. My comment earlier today related to *satellite* activity from those states, and I apologize for not being more specific. I'm hoping that maybe there will be some W1AW/4 activity from Tennessee this week, given the number of satellite operators in that state - especially a certain grid in the southwest part of that state. :-)
Thanks again for working me as W1AW/7 and WD9EWK in the past week. I now have worked one station on the satellites in DC from my home grid, after over 8 years of never hearing one.
73!

Great job Patrick and John! You really showed everyone how it's done from Arizona - It will be pretty tough for me to beat that number as W1AW/3 from the District of Columbia in early July!
I look forward to chasing future W1AW portable operations on the satellites. Hopefully as many states as possible get on the air. Doesn't look like there's anyone scheduled to operate from New Mexico or Tennessee this week. It's not too late to contact your coordinators!
