Hi!

After receiving some responses to my e-mail earlier this week regarding my post-hamfest road trip to southeastern Arizona (thank you to all who sent me their comments!), I plan on making the drive to the DM51/DM52 grid boundary for the late-afternoon FO-29 and VO-52 passes starting just after 0000 UTC (8pm Eastern time). There should be sufficient daylight for me to work passes up to 0200 UTC in that area, and I may stick it out through the SO-50 pass around 0223 UTC if things are calm in that area. Between not wanting to stay out there well into the night, and a drive home that will be at least 3 hours, I won't be able to work the SO-50 pass around 0400 UTC or the AO-73 passes later in the evening.

I will try to post updates here on the AMSAT-BB, depending on if I can access Internet out in that area. I should be able to post updates on my @WD9EWK Twitter feed via SMS messages, which can be viewed at http://twitter.com/WD9EWK if you do not use Twitter. APRS usually has good coverage in southeastern Arizona, so I should show up on web pages like http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 if you want to see where I will be.

73!
