Desert-2-Ocean Odyssey - Grid DM37

All setup and ready to go in DM37mv, Parowan Gap BLM Protective Area.

First good pass should be RS-44 at 22:24z. There are a couple of earlier ones that I will try, but lots of hills and mountains.

@W8LR_Jerry ATNO = All Time New One, There is a POTA 'Park' that has never been activated before, on this route. It wont be after I pass through.... :)

All calls are always welcome! The more the merrier! Wayne

Desert-2-Ocean Odyssey- TREK #1 - DM36- 2 nights. Then up I-15 to Cedar City UT. DM37. 1 - 2 nights incl. POTA. Onto Milford, UT for more POTA and DM38. Several nights in DM38 on route UT-21. POTA incl. ATNO's. All birds (FM and Linears) on camp stops.

[Wayne Courtain @W7WGC]

@AMSAT @GridMasterHeat 67 contacts made on 4 different birds: IO-117 (53), RS-44 (9), ARISS (3) and AO-7 (2)...Plus one 80 meter contact when I checked into the OEN.
More Satellites tomorrow, +FT8 on HF...and Lord willing and the creek don't rise, 6 meters.

Thanks ALL! It was a blast!

Feel the excitement!

Setup in DM22tq back in February. The last dozen passes of Green-cube, I was lucky if I saw a "red" line!

Roving in DM36 now. Wow! Or as they say in California, "Cow-a-bunga, Dude!"

Every call sign is "red!"

This is FUN!

@GDave50 @AMSAT @GridMasterHeat @k5zm_ @WD9EWK @fhoonhout @SeanKutzko @KG0D_Dave I gotcha logged tonight in DM36!

[Wayne Courtain @W7WGC]

@VE7PTN I should be in that grid for several stops and at least 3 days. A couple of POTA "ATNO's" are there. And POTA ATNO's are my thang! I checked Milford, UT weather and it is getting down to 52 degrees at night so that makes the 90+ days more bearable. :)

[Wayne Courtain @W7WGC]

Desert-2-Ocean Odyssey - TREK #2 - Mostly the Ely, NV area, DM29, & mostly POTA. Not sure of route, but may try for DM19 for @SeanKutzko, but it is only a sliver of the grid I'd pass through so need to be sked'd. @KG0D_Dave Northern NV for DN21 and DN22 @AMSAT ; @GridMasterHeat
