Happy Easter Everyone! For posterity my last 488 Map. Thanks to all the rovers and all the HAMS who make the hobby fun! @NJ7H_retired @dtabor @WD9EWK @WL7T_ @N5BO_Justin @N7AGF @sbelter @ad0dx @KI7UNJ @w5pfg @KG5CCI @AA5PK @KE4ALabama @w8lid @WY7AA

@ve1cwj @KI0KBWC7WB Way to go! And excellent choice of Doughnut.

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@w8lid You need to keep this one, it'll go great in your collection!

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@w8lid That is wild! It reminds me of dendrite formation on aluminum but it clearly is not that. Was it in a corrosive environment? Also notice the turns on the toroid are crossed over which is normally considered a defect but I doubt that has anything to do w/ the crystal formation.

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@w8lid Just take some Emory cloth and rub between the contacts. Then throw out the contactor and put a new one in! 😄

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@AD0HJ @KN2K1 @AMSAT Way to go Mitch! You would have got there sooner if you weren't so generously roving all over the place for others. Congrats and Thanks!

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

Lively pass of RS-44 with @ChrisVE3FU (VO1FUA) dealing with a bit of a Western pileup. Thanks Chris for the new Province and Grid!
Coast to Almost Coast

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@VE7PTN Way to go Bruce! Amazing! It's the whole reason I started Ham Radio, but I'm still waiting for that first QSO. Congrats!

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@VE7PTN @Kf6joqLarry Fill that one up and I'll buy you a beer! 🍺 🍻

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@N5BO_Justin @WL7T_ Congrats Justin! You a great rover and now a Gridmaster! 👏 👏 👏

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@KeechDoug @VE7PTN Thanks for the new one on the 21:21 CAS-4A !

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@N9EAT @NJ7H_retired @dtabor @WD9EWK @WL7T_ @N5BO_Justin @N7AGF @sbelter @ad0dx @KI7UNJ @w5pfg @KG5CCI @AA5PK @KE4ALabama @w8lid @WY7AA Yep, you never run out of grids! And yes CW is on the list too.

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@VE6WK @WL7T_ @NJ7H_retired (AL6D and many other calls) at 56 Grids! Gabe roved like hell 🔥🔥🔥💯

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@w8lid @lakeerieastro Interesting, that makes sense. It has an impressive frame yet too. Why would you want such a fast frame rate for astro? Stacking works really well with much slower rates. Need to do some reading. Excited to see your images.

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@w8lid @lakeerieastro A sensor that draws 3A and needs active cooling! I don't know what it is does or how, but I want one!

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@randy_ND0C @W8LR_Jerry @WL7T_ Way to go Randy! Awesome!

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

Thanks @rcoulas67 for the qso on RS44. Always nice to put a new 🇨🇦 call in the log!

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

@kk5do @AMSAT Way to go Dennis, congrats! It's been fun being on many passes with you!

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

Thanks to everyone in this Ham Radio community! So many smart, helpful, generous and funny people with incredibly diverse technical and cultural backgrounds. HAM RADIO the original social network! So glad I joined you all! Now to get roaming and give some grids back! 73

[Chris Wilford @VE7CEW]

Thanks @dtabor for activating DM84 on the great old bird AO-7 and the new grid which is my last of the CONUS 488! Doug was my 3rd QSO ever and many in between, so glad to hear him say QSL! Thanks to all you rovers!
