KG5CCI Roving 8/12/2017 thru 8/22/2017
Got some travel plans coming up the next few weeks, and people have expressed interest, so here's the details:
8/12/2017 I'll be traveling to EM43 to operate some Meteor Scatter on 6m for the Perseids, but will also operate Satellites from EM43 while there.. afterwards I plan on scooting down to EM42 and EM41 to do some more Sat passes before heading back to EM34 via whatever path I happen to feel like.
8/16 - 8/17 I'll be traveling from EM34 to EM38 on some business, but should have time on the way up and back to do some passes. Watch twitter closely, cause these will likely be little warning activation.
8/20 - 8/22 I'll be traveling from EM34 to EN21 for the Eclipse. As with most eclipse chasers there's a very real possibility I may have to drive from EN21 to wherever it's clear on the 21st... so there's a chance I might end up out in Western Nebraska. Once again, watch twitter, cause who knows where I'll end up. On the 22nd I'll be heading back to EM34 from wherever my final Eclipse destination takes me.
Good luck!

.....and if you miss Dave in Nebraska or just want to talk to somebody besides the notorious CCI, I'll also be up there for the eclipse in the Grand Island area. ;-)
I'd like to pick up some new grids and a state for my /r totals, so if you need anything in the EN01/11/00/10 area let me know! I'll be on twitter.com/kk4fem

Amending this weekend's plan somewhat - I'm going to focus on EM43 for 6m Scatter, and activating Mississippi on Satellites. Due to complications with home remote equipment I won't be able to do the things I want to do while in EM41, so I'll postpone that portion of the trip until a later time. Everything else still on schedule.
73!
