All,
Just talked to Jim on 20M cw and he indicated that satellite operations were doubtful today do to wx. High winds and rain. He said winds were 50 mph at times. The forecast is for 12 inches of snow so he and Cori are watching the wx closely. He said satellite operation tomorrow was possible wx permitting.

Depending on this afternoon's weather, I'll operate from EN17 during the AO27 passes that rise locally at 26/1824Z and 2002Z and hopefully on AO51 at 26/2141Z and 2320Z.
We've got rain today and a blizzard warning starting this afternoon. We can hardly complain about the timing of course since we're wrapping up the state. We've been incredibly fortunate that every day of the seven weeks we've been on the road, the daily temps have been in the 60s or higher, and yesterday was the first day we had rain! Sounds like a good time to blow out of North Dakota!
A return to EN16 is possible for tomorrow, hopefully from the MN side and away from the blizzard!
This will conclude the focus on running grids on this trip. After we leave ND, we'll be taking the interstate (probably I-94 to I-65 with a three-day stop off in EN61) back to Florida.
I'll still operate from the grids that we hit when it's pass time, but the ones we'll be in aren't likely to be greatly needed. Feel free to contact me off list if there's something in particular you need along that route.
73,
Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC Grand Forks ND / Grand Forks Co. / EN17
