We’re only a few days from home; had a wonderful time exploring New England and the Canadian Maritime provinces. During our trip, I took the opportunity to practice operating portable. My thanks to K8YSE, N8HM, and W5PFG for their advice and encouragement.

The current count is 20 grids activated, some rare and some not so: GO10, GO11, GO21, GN07, GN08, GN09, GN18, GN19, GN38, FN02, FN03, FN23, FN34, FN41, FN43, FN46, FN67, FN75, FN76, and FN96.

215 total QSOs. Thank you to everyone for their patience and for allowing me to monopolize many satellite passes.

If I didn’t hear you, my apologies. I don’t hear well (i.e., hearing aids) and I don’t hear well (i.e., pointing the antenna and tuning the radio). I still need lots of practice and I need to work on my equipment.

All of my contacts have been uploaded to LoTW. If we made contact and you aren’t getting a confirmation via LoTW, please contact me so that we can discover my mistakes.

Hopefully we can do this again on my next trip. Best way to hear about any operating plans are to follow me on Twitter @sbelter.
