@WB7VUF Congratulations. 488 is hard work. Welcome.

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@suzieqeue Doing ok. We should talk be phone. What times are good for you?

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@dtabor Thanks for the heads up on T2C. I just logged him.

Now that the GM is done it’s time to get my head into HF DX and taking advantage of the sunspots.

@AD0HJ @AK8CW Many thanks Mitch. You were an important person on my quest. It would not have been possible without you.

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@AK8CW Also many thanks to Doug, N6UA who activated EL17 while coming back from the AMSAT Symposium. It’s that extra effort that counts.

ROVERS ROCK!

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@AK8CW Could not have said it better. Stationery operators can’t work the grids without rovers. Good, patient rovers make it happen.
And many thanks to you Phil for making the effort on your cross country trip for a stop near Albuquerque that made this quest complete.

ROVERS ROCK!

With help from Mitch, AD0HJ this last weekend I need only DM64 and EL17. I'm working with Scott K5TA for DM64 but still looking to make a connection for a station in Corpus Christi for EL17. Any help?

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@dtabor @ZL3GAV I worked him too.

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

Needing:
DM64, Albuquerque
EL17, Corpus Christi
FM02, Charleston
EM48 - EN58, northeast Minnesota
A little help.

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@AK8CW If you get close to EM87 or EM83, let me know. Down to me last 12 grids.

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@MikeN8MR @GridMasterHeat @GridMasterMap @AMSAT If you’re close to EN75 I could use it. (Only if convenient.)

[Alan Bowker (WA6DNR) @wa6dnr]

@W8LR_Jerry @WB7VUF @KC7JPC I could use EM87 if it is convenient.

Half of my Twitter feeds are suddenly displaying in Arabic. Such is localization.

I will off satellite operations in North America for a few weeks.

@SeanKutzko @_VA7LM I was an engineer at Fantasy in Berkeley in the mid to late 1970’s when Bill was recording there with Tony Bennet. His music was superb and above anything I had heard until then. Tony was great and was very approachable. I left Fantasy to work at North Star Computers.
