Hi!

While attending the Prescott Hamfest this Friday and Saturday, I will have some time after each day to venture away from Prescott and operate from different locations. The DM34/DM35 line is about 30 miles north of Prescott via AZ-89, and is a nice spot for working satellites, for example. Is there any interest in working grids like DM35, DM44, or possibly DM45 on either Friday or Saturday evening? Or even something like DM25 to the northwest of Prescott along I-40? Please e-mail me directly, or send me a tweet or DM to my @WD9EWK Twitter account, if there are some grids in this area that you might want to hear on the satellites Friday or Saturday evening.

The hamfest runs until 4pm/2300 UTC on Friday, and 3pm/2200 UTC Saturday. It would be after these times, when I would be able to depart Prescott for some other grids. I don't know how late I plan on staying out both nights, but I will end up back home sometime on Saturday night, possibly late that night, depending on where my post-hamfest Arizona road trip goes. I will have my TH-D72 squawking to the APRS network as WD9EWK-9, and this will be visible online at (among other places) http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 in a browser window. Updates will be posted on my @WD9EWK Twitter account, which can be viewed in a browser window at http://twitter.com/WD9EWK without a Twitter account.

Just like with the QSOs made during the hamfest, I'll upload any other QSOs I make this weekend to Logbook of the World. If you'd like a QSL card, please e-mail me the QSO details. If you are in the log, I'll send a card.

73!
