Good Afternoon to all on the -bb!

Thanks to Jim, ND9M, and his XYL, Cory (spelling?) for a fine exhibition of activating such a high number of grids for those of us to work. I managed to work 35 new grids and 1 new state from this GriDXpedition and am very pleased. I could have managed to work about 10 or more grids at the beginning of this event but timing issues on my end interfered with the passes.

As stated on another post, it really made looking forward to the afternoon and evening passes of the birds knowing Jim would be on from a new grid, or grids, if standing on the lines. There were times the birds were really crowded but Jim managed to work who and what he could and making the best of any situation.

Thank you again Jim and Cory!

GM all "bird" watchers (or is that workers),

I just wanted to say a BIG THANKS to Jim and Cori for their satellite road trip. I think they are home by now, or maybe today. I just can't wait to see the write up and some of the pictures from their trip. I think they were on the road for 48 days! Thousands of miles and dollars spent just to give the rest of us new grid squares. And if you were lucky enough to work all of the grids, it would almost give you a VUCC in less than two months.

Thanks again from all of us. I can't imagine the writer's cramp from all of those QSL cards. Hi Hi

73 all,

Rick WA4NVM
