Duffey, KK6MC/R plans to cover some new ground for his rover adventure. Basically he'll go North to South along the 100th parallel, starting at EN00/DN09/DM99/DM90, then progressing south to DN08/DN07/DM97/DM98, then south to DN06/DN05/DM95/DM96, then home through DM85, DM75 and DM65, with a brief pass through DM74.
(See Jim Duffey KK6MC/R in this YouTube video (in HD!))
ABCDE 100 watts and short yagi's on all bands except 1296 which is 10 watts. CQ'ing on 144.200 and 50.125
EN00 1800Z - 1845Z
DN90 1900Z - 1945Z
DM99 2000Z - 2045Z
EM09 2100Z - 2200Z
Then south on Highway 283, grids DM09 and DM08 (I can make excursions to DM99 and DM98 on request) monitoring 144.2 and 50.125 to:
EM08 0000Z - 0045Z
DM98 0100Z - 0145Z
DM97 0200Z - 0245Z
EM07 0300Z - 0345Z
I will probably overnight in Dodge City. This will be late, but not too late. Then in the morning, on the road early on Highway 283 monitoring
50.125 MHz and 144.2 MHz to:
EM06 1200Z to 1245z
DM96 1300Z to 1345Z
I can make excursions to DM97 and DM96 on request.
Again on the road, monitoring 50.125 MHz and 144.2 MHz, to
EM05 1500Z to 1545Z
DM95 1600Z to 1645Z
South to I-40 and EM05 at 1800Z
West on I-40, monitoring 50.125 MHz and 144.2 MHz, entering DM95 at
1900Z
DM 85 at 2030Z
If things are not too far behind schedule here, I may make a 20 mile detour to south to Caprock County Park, which has good sight lines from the east to the north, around to the west.
DM 75 at 2230Z with short excursions to DM74, the road runs right along 35N in NM here. I can make a definitive excursion to DM74 on request.
DM65Z at 0030Z to home. If there is some time, I may activate DM74 and DM64 at the Moriarity Convergence here.
I should hit the driveway at about 0130Z
Times are approximate, and if I make this schedule I will be very happy. It is ambitious. The usual rover caveats apply. :^)= Looking forward to this. - Duffey
