Re: KB5WIA California Lost Coast Expedition (CM79/CM89/CN70/CN80) August 7-8, 2011
I have several cards with 4 grids on the same card, many with 2 grid lines, etc. They've all counted so far!

Wonder if the VUCC rules will allow 4 grids to be put on 1 card ? Might be a tough sell to a card checker !

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder (and before the flood of ARISSat emails in the list tomorrow!), this weekend I'll be heading out to the California Lost Coast to work the satellites from that rare grid CM79. CM79 has no roads, no power, no houses, nothing but lots and lots of ocean and a small triangle of mountainous forest. Plans are to operate right from the northeast tip of CM79 so if all goes well I'll be providing four grids at once: CM79, CM89, CN70, and CN80.
Weather looks reasonable (cloudy mornings, sunny afternoons) for portable solar-powered operation. I'll operate on Sunday August 7th and Monday August 8th, and I've posted a list of potential passes on my blog. Operation will be during local daylight only, due to the remoteness of the area I don't want to be hiking down off that mountain after dark!
I'll aim to work all available satellites -- AO-51 (if it keeps going strong like it has been), SO-50, and AO-27 for FM. VO-52, FO-29, and AO-07 (primarily mode B) for SSB. If ARISSat is up and running I'll try to get on that too, depending on congestion and satellite performance.
I'll have my SPOT Locator beacon with me, so my exact location should be available from the link on my QRZ web page. If the current beacon position shows that I'm right at the intersection of -124 and 40 degrees, likely I'll be available on the sats as they go by.
