Great to hear @randy_ND0C out and about on RS-44. I wanted to say 'hi', but 1.5Β° wasn't quite enough. Sorry, Randy! I shoulda kept my trap shut! I did hear ya come back before you faded into the mountains.
@AA0MZ Yeah, I got very lucky and got Barry on his very first CQ from CN78... after staring at a blue screen for 5 or 6 hours, he was the first thing that printed. ok, I was doing other stuff and grid tracker screamed 'Wanted Grid' at me... but, still ;)
@AA0MZ That is a fact! It gets really crowded and it's hard to tell who is working what band/mode! 6and7-land-chat is quieter spot to land. FWIW, I just tossed out a few minutes of msk and only KE7NR flagged me
The Grand Canyon Lodge has burned down due to the Dragon Bravo Fire in the Park. Other structures have been impacted as well.
On todayβs show I talk about the multiple managed fires that blew out yesterday due to weather events that rolled over the fire areas. Thanks to the subscriber who shared these images on condition of anonymity.
