Hi!

I'm planning a quick road trip west of Phoenix to grid DM23 for AO-16 passes on Saturday (1 November) afternoon and the AO-51 pass around 0124 UTC Sunday (2 November - Saturday evening for North America). This grid covers parts of western Arizona and southeastern California; my plan is to be on from somewhere on the Arizona side of the Colorado River in La Paz County, but I could end up on the California side in Riverside County. DM23 would be the 20th different grid I have operated from via satellite in 2008.

Although I have been working the AO-51 SSB/FM cross-mode repeater the last 2 evenings and enjoying that challenge, I plan on using the normal 145.920/435.300 MHz FM repeater for the 0124 UTC. Due to time constraints, I do not plan on being out there for the western AO-51 pass later in the evening around 0304 UTC.

73!
