Jim,
Amazingly DM03 is not heard on passes of FM satellites (SO-50) that touch the east coast. The same could be said for east coast grids never heard out west.
Recently WD9EWK was out in southern California and made a point to work some low passes that reached the east coast. It proved popular.
I commend the K6PV op for working a pass low enough to provide coverage to the entire continental USA on SO-50.

Is DM03 really that "rare"?
If it is, I'll get on the birds more often.

The Palos Verdes Amateur Radio Club is operating from Santa Catalina Island, DM03rk through Sunday. They have been worked on SO-50 but have about a 10-12 degree horizon. DM03 is not on that often although some of it is on the mainland. Callsign is the club call, K6PV/p. 73, John K8YSE
