Hi!
Instead of commenting about the format of David's message, has anyone contacted him about the *content* of his message?

Maybe there's someone in those states, or someone who can quickly drive to them, who can help him with his WAS award via satellite. I know I have worked hams in both states over the past few months, plus there are probably others that are not far away that could put them on the air. Even for those who already have confirmations with those states, the grids that come on the air from those places could be of interest to others as well.
Thanks to two traveling hams, I was able to finally work Delaware twice in the past few weeks after never hearing a peep from there in almost 3 1/2 years on the birds. When I returned from my road trip last week, I had a QSL in the mailbox for one of those two QSOs, and I am off to meet a local card checker to review my application for a satellite WAS award tomorrow evening. :-)

Hi Patrick,
I've been in touch with him to provide information on the stations I'm aware of.
Congratulations on WAS!!!! Good for you. I doubt seriously there are too many Satellite WAS awards earned via LEO satellites exclusively. That's quite an accomplishment.
Speaking of which ... I'd like to formally request BK29 as one of your rare grids to activate on the next expedition..... ;-)
73 and congrats again,

Tim,
Your wish may come true. I was going to wait a few more months but I will let the "cat out of the bag" now.;)
I am planning to go to Hawaii next March, 2010. I have not made travel arrangements yet but current plans are to visit Oahu, Kauai and Big Island for my annual scuba vacation. If I go, I should be there for about 2 weeks. Possible Grids are: BL01, BL02, BL11, BL20, BK29 and time permitting with some nudging BK19. Sorry no Maui this time, I was there 2 years ago.
I would appreciate hearing back from anybody who has worked from these grids or any advice for this Dxpedition due to the short passes. I enjoyed so much working from EK99 earlier in the year, that I am seriously considering doing another expedition to some exotic grids like BL and BK.
73, Adrian AA5UK

Hey Adrian,
Great news! I hope you will be able to work AO-7 because she is the only satellite with a footprint big enough to stretch to EM84.
If not, I'm confident that plenty of operators in the western U.S. will be excited to have you active from Hawaii on the FM satellites.
Rest assured ... I'll stay in touch!
Thank you again,

Tim,
Yes I can work AO-7. Let's hope the Old Bird is still alive and kicking then. Maybe if I get on top of the volcano in BK29 I can "stretch the rope" a little further into EM84. HiHi. ;)
Will start doing some planning after I get back from EA6 in late October from working CQWW SSB. I'll start looking at locations and possible times to all areas Stateside, Asia and Pacific.
I'll send an update out later in the year once I have firmed up travel dates and grid locations. Until then I am open to hearing from anybody who needs those grids for planning and sked purposes. Any other ideas or suggestions from the group are welcome!
Aloha,
Adrian AA5UK

HI PATRICK...
ACTUALLY YOU ARE CORRECT...WE SHOULDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE FORMAT ON INQUIRIES ON THE BB BUT SHOULD DIRECT OUR ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ASKED...
I LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS BUT AM UNABLE TO PROVIDE CONTACTS FROM THE TWO ADJOINING STATES AT THIS TIME...
I HOWEVER AM ABLE TO SENT RTTY ART THROUGH THE BB SO THAT EVERYONE CAN ENJOY SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS OF TTY...
I CURRENTLY HAVE BETTER REGUARD FOR MY FELLOW HAMS THAN TO SEND MESSAGES IN ALL CAPS...WHICH SEEMS TO IRRITATE MANY OF THEM...BUT IF IT BECOMES A RENEWED TREND, I DON'T WANT TO BE THE LAST ONE TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON.
I APPRECIATE THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO POINT OUT THAT I WAS POSSIBLY DOING SOMETHING INCORRECTLY BY SUGGESTING THAT THE ORIGINAL POSTER WAS MAYBE PERHAPS BREAKING CONVENTION.
I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE EFFORTS YOU PUT INTO ACTIVATING NEW GRIDS PLUS THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO CORRECTING OPERATORS WHO DON'T COLOR INSIDE YOUR LINES.
