Myself and N4ESS will be driving a couple hours north this afternoon to the EL89/99 gridline. First pass should be the 2248zwestern AO85 pass, so if you’re an FM only op and need these grids, don’t miss the pass!
We’ll be sticking around until at least the 0010z FO29 pass with coverage into EU and SA, and maybe a bit afterwards. I’ll be on linear passes of CAS-4B, the XWs and whatever else is going over between AO85 and FO29, so if you have linear capabilities and need the grids (or just want to say hi), try not to clog up the FM pass! Give the FM only guys a chance.
Keep an eye on twitter @nj4y_radio, and APRS nj4y-5 for updates...and if you need a pass sked give me a shout!

Lived in Ocklawaha for six months (EL89). Weirsdale, like four miles east on county 25 was EL99.
If you're headed to this area, dinner options include:
Alligator tail at Gator Joe's (full service bar/restaurant) in Ocklawaha
Or, if you're really hungry:
Alfie's (full service bar/restaurant). 2 miles west of Ocklawaha on county 25. The queen rib rocks. Come famished, leave satiated.
Have fun dodging Florida Man, the snowbirds and village people.
