Hi all,
I want to thank all of those who took the time out to contribute their grid data so I could try to compose a list of the most wanted, or needed, grid squares via the satellites for the continental United States with some Canadian and Mexico grids thrown in as well. I initially started out with the total 250, 10 grid fields times the 25 most needed grid squares per field, hence 250. I should've taken into account that grid fields like CM and FM aren't fully land mass enough to give a full 25 grids so it looks like the 250 will become the top 230. In any case, the data was very useful and informative. I believe many will see what grids are outstanding in need of activation.
Since I did not receive any more entries since Thursday, 11/12, I already had a running tally of the totals as I was receiving them and was waiting for more to come in by the deadline of 11/14. None did, so I was able to cap this project about a day ahead of schedule. I hope everybody enjoys the data and can possibly use it in the future if they plan on traveling, visting relatives, or just going on a GridDXpedition.
I broke down the grid fields by the most votes then proceeded to seperately post the grid squares of each field by their votes, highest to lowest. The layout is rather long but since this is just basic data I wanted to keep it simple and left justified to keep it clear. Printing it out may make it easier to read or comprehend since you won't be looking at just a portion of the data on the screen but a print out on paper layed out on the table.
If you have a questions, comments or just plain curious, please feel free to drop me an e-mail.

Jeff,
Thanks for the hard work gathering all the information. Now, if we can get some "roadtrip warriors" to work these grids and the opportunity to get into the birds, (hint) we can all make use of your list. I hope I didn't ruffle any feathers, but sometimes an operator can't help but wonder, "why am I standing out in the dark waging this antenna and can't even hear a complete call".
Since we have a lot of new operators, please help support AMSAT-NA and the other organizations to get more birds launched. More birds = more minutes to work a bird, I hope less congestion if the future.
73 to all, Rick - WA4NVM

Hi Rick and the group,
Your welcome! I figured this would be the best way to get a rough idea of what grids are being searched for by people who have been working the birds for some time. At least it's a baseline and something to build on for the future. This data can be used for those who travel, for business or so, plan a trip to a relative or vacation, or the GriDXpeditioners.
Your view about "why am I standing out in the dark waging this antenna and can't even hear a complete call" is thought provoking. The simple answer is no matter who's out there providing new grid or new state, we all enjoy and share the same thing together. Chances are if you knew there would be nobody on the birds, would you bother doing it? No. However, you know that there will be people on the birds and you know your going to get calls, albeit, through a lot of confusion! So we keep doing the same thing because basically we enjoy it. Sure, there are times we all get frustrated and angry but that shouldn't stop us from enjoying it, it's just another challange to overcome.
I've copied a number of "fresh" calls over the past couple of weeks, and they also provided many with new grids, and I'm glad to see more trying out the birds. These people will experience the same thing that all of us do on the same passes of the birds. They will question themselves on why they are doing this as well with the intent of either sticking with it or letting it go to the wayside. We all have to be there to help them along so they understand that each pass can beexciting or a surprise waiting to happen.
The two best examples that happened to me was when I wasn't sure if I wanted to work a pass before heading off to work. I decided in favor to work it. What happens? Patrick, WD9EWK, decides to drive to Delaware, unannounced if I recall correctly, to not only activate a rare state, but a new grid for many as well! Second example. I was working AO-51 one evening pass, made a couple basic QSOs then out of the blue VE8EV calls me! We exchanged info and a mini pileup ensued.
In any case, let's just keep having fun and doing the best we can with what we have.
73,
Jeff WB3JFS

Jeff, thanks for all your efforts in compiling all this data. I am sure it will give me some more ideas on where to drag the xyl for vacation again, like this year.
I agree in Rick's (WA4NVM) saying what it is to be out "wagging" that yagi in the dark. Anytime you hear a Portable or Handheld station, please make an effort to contact, as it could be a rare grid or a new op.

The layout is rather long but since this is just basic data I wanted to keep it simple and left justified to keep it clear. Printing it out may make it easier to read or comprehend since you won't be looking at just a portion of the data on the screen but a print out on paper layed out on the table.

Hi John and the group,
Your welcome and I'm glad you like the compilation. Just don't tell the XYL why your taking her on a second vacation. :)
I will have to second your motion about working portable stations, HT stations or new operator to show their effort wasn't in vein. I would also like to suggest for those who do, or plan to, operate from rare grids to make a post to the -bb here so those who might need it can be aware of the fact your going to be there operating. Sometimes schedules don't always mesh but at least there was the effort.
73,
Jeff WB3JFS

Jeff, thanks for all your efforts in compiling all this data. I am sure it will give me some more ideas on where to drag the xyl for vacation again, like this year.
I agree in Rick's (WA4NVM) saying what it is to be out "wagging" that yagi in the dark. Anytime you hear a Portable or Handheld station, please make an effort to contact, as it could be a rare grid or a new op.

Hi all,
I want to thank all of those who took the time out to contribute their grid data so I could try to compose a list of the most wanted, or needed, grid squares via the satellites for the continental United States with some Canadian and Mexico grids thrown in as well. I initially started out with the total 250, 10 grid fields times the 25 most needed grid squares per field, hence 250. I should've taken into account that grid fields like CM and FM aren't fully land mass enough to give a full 25 grids so it looks like the 250 will become the top 230. In any case, the data was very useful and informative. I believe many will see what grids are outstanding in need of activation.
Since I did not receive any more entries since Thursday, 11/12, I already had a running tally of the totals as I was receiving them and was waiting for more to come in by the deadline of 11/14. None did, so I was able to cap this project about a day ahead of schedule. I hope everybody enjoys the data and can possibly use it in the future if they plan on traveling, visting relatives, or just going on a GridDXpedition.
I broke down the grid fields by the most votes then proceeded to seperately post the grid squares of each field by their votes, highest to lowest. The layout is rather long but since this is just basic data I wanted to keep it simple and left justified to keep it clear. Printing it out may make it easier to read or comprehend since you won't be looking at just a portion of the data on the screen but a print out on paper layed out on the table.
If you have a questions, comments or just plain curious, please feel free to drop me an e-mail.
