I will be in EN33 today on RS-44 at 2136z. I will take all comers until 2145z when the window to Europe will open up. Grid Chasers GridMasterHeatMap #hams.at


Doug Douglas Tabor, N6UA & Pam drove out of their way on a family vacation to visit Randy ND0C and Kylee Shirbroun. It was great to see you again!


Heading west soon for another family camping excursion with a little grid-roving included. Tentative plans for RS-44 passes: DN93/94 line - 0042z 28 July DN64 - 2312z 28 July DN64 - 2051z 31 July - focus on Europe; from a SOTA summit GridMasterHeatMap Grid Chasers #hams.at

We had another visit by Wyoming friends today as super rover R.J., WY7AA, and Paula, AF7DJ, stopped by on their trip east. To make it even better, we were joined by another super rover, Mitch, Mitch Ahrenstorff (not pictured) Kylee Shirbroun Grid Chasers GridMasterHeatMap Amy_Shirb


Two passes today, 31 July, from summits in DN64 - also POTA: SO-50 at 1557z - KE0WPA RS-44 at 2045z -ND0C (looking for EU in last half of pass) Grid Chasers GridMasterHeatMap #hams.at

Thanks for the calls today on RS-44 when I was on a SOTA summit: W7Y/NW-035 in DN64. Short window to EU but managed to work G0ABI Peter Green 🇺🇦 Peter (2M0SQL) & David Pykett plus Joe 🎙 #W3JZU & Gary Mason K2PLL

Not sure what grid I will be in for the 2127z RS-44 pass tomorrow (2 Aug) but will give it a try: DN53 or DN52. Listening for Europe after 2141z - very low. This is in addition to the previously scheduled RS-44 pass at 2317z from DN52. Grid Chasers GridMasterHeatMap #hams.at.

Thanks to James MI0ILE and Peter (2M0SQL) for the calls from across the pond! Not the best horizon due to the ridge a few miles away - this was my view to the northeast. I’m baffled by the ops that insist on calling stations on my downlink frequency whom I’ve just worked! Oh well…


DN41 is not particularly rare, but I will be there tomorrow, 3 Aug, and will plan to be on the 2339z RS-44 pass. Grid Chasers GridMasterHeatMap #hams.at

I am tentatively planning to make a run up to DN42 this afternoon (3 August) if we get to our campground in time. RS-44 at 2149z. Very short window to a small area of Europe - don’t what my horizon will be. Grid Chasers GridMasterHeatMap #hams.at (N0GVK is aware.)

All sat QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW from my laid-back roving excursion (family vacation) to SD & WY. Let me know if you see an apparent discrepancy. Thanks again for all the calls. It is a blast to hand out new grids - now up to 121 VUCC/r. Grid Chasers GridMasterHeatMap
