Cori and I will be on from DM36 (possibly the grid line with DM35) on AO27 tomorrow (Monday) at 25/2043Z (approx turn on at 2047Z). Later on, we'll head south a bit and be on from DM34 and then green stamper DM33 after that. I don't know what pass(es) that will be however, but I know that Patrick, WD9EWK, has got those two pretty well covered anyway.
We're still running all Arizona counties on HF CW and SSB, which really puts a dent in efficient grid ops, but we'll be turning toward the northeast in a couple days. Then we'll head for the much-in-demand DM66 grid in NM shortly after that.
Also, now that we're back in AZ, tracking via APRS (ND9M-7) is more reliable again.

Jim,
Hope to catch you again soon from a rare grid. Seems whenever you're out there, I can't get on the air for whatever reason.
When are you working SSB? I need a few rare counties in AZ for the AZ Worked all Counties award. Are you planning on being on Sat or Phone in any of the following counties before heading out:
Coconino Apache Greenlee Graham Pinal Gila Yuma (I know that ones been done, just throwing it in for completeness ;))
Thanks for the opportunities you give or us to grab rare grids.
Hope you're enjoying the trip.
Clear Skies
