Hi!

It's a new year, and I still have a couple of free days this week. I am going to make another quick run to the DM34/DM44 grid boundary in northern Arizona on Wednesday, 3 January 2018. If all goes well, I may be able to sneak in on the western FO-29 pass starting just before 1700 UTC. Otherwise, I will start with the SO-50 pass coming by just after 1700 UTC. Along with these two satellites, along with some others - AO-91, FalconSat-3, even AO-7 if it stays in mode B for a pass around 2026 UTC.

I will use APRS for the drive up to the DM34/DM44 line and back on Wednesday, squawking as WD9EWK-9. This should appear on sites like http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 among others. Updates will be posted on my @WD9EWK Twitter account while I am up there. QSOs will be uploaded to Logbook of the World after the quick road trip. If a QSL card is needed to confirm a contact, please send me an e-mail with the QSO details. If you are in the log, I will send you a QSL card. No need to first send me a card or SASE.

73!
