Jim did a great job in operating from at least 86 different grids. A graphical representation of those grids is on my webserver. Red grids are ones that I worked him in. Blue grids are the ones I missed. http://www.papays.com/nd9m.jpg
As Rick said, one could have almost completed VUCC by just working ND9M/p over the course of 6 weeks. Congratulations Jim on a stellar operation!

I also want to thank Jim and Cori for their road trip/GriDXpedition.
I was able to work Jim in a number of new grids and to meet him personally for coffee as they passed through San Angelo (DM91).
I only regret I was at work for many of the passes in grids on my "needed" list.
Great job, Jim, and hope to hear you again after your next voyage.

Hi!
I was able to work Jim in a number of new grids and to meet him personally for coffee as they passed through San Angelo (DM91).
I only regret I was at work for many of the passes in grids on my "needed" list.
I'm with you, Glenn. Like all the others have said, and K8YSE illustrated with that map, ND9M's road trip was huge. I didn't get him in every grid he visited that I have on my "need" list, but I was able to get some off that list. Work got in the way for me also, and not being close to home for some of Jim's stops meant I missed a bunch. I did get a few when I was down in Mexico last month, which will help toward a satellite VUCC award from there. :-)
Now how does Jim top this trip? So many grids and states in one trip. Unless I win a lottery jackpot, I know I won't be making a trip like that anytime in the next 20 or 25 years. Thanks for playing radio so much while you were on the road, Jim! Now I need to get my QSL request in the mail for all those grids...
73!
