Tnx Jonathan @N4AKV_ for new grid FM02 on RS-44. After a very iffy start, condx improved and we were able to make it happen just a little later in the pass. πŸ˜πŸ‘.

I’m wrapping up here (CN76 & US-3220) but if someone needs the grid, speak now and I’ll stick around for RS-44 at 2115z.

I’m out here at US-3220. At just 72Β°F, it’s a good 20Β° cooler than at the house. But oh, boy, being right on the bay and with just the slightest breeze, it feels like I’m still back in PDX.

I see some of you have opted to go the blue check mark route. Have you noticed any downsides to it -other than a little le$$ in your wallets?.

Now that's mo bettah! Amazing how much easier it is in the absence of folks who feel as though blind calling is the way to overcome lousy band condx. Tnx @N4AKV_ for BP50!.

Very noisy AO-7 pass. Didn't hear @N4AKV_ until just prior to my LOS but there was no competing with that noise. The very persistent -and rather annoying- blind caller wasn't making it any easier. Hopefully he found success so I don't have to deal with him on RS-44.

Yeah, bay-bee! Tnx @KB5FHK_Tom for EL59 during that pass of RS-44 -and then the unexpected bonus of busting the pileup and snagging RJ #WY7AA/VO2 in FO83! A little satellite two-fer. I'll take it! πŸ‘πŸ‘.

The corrected adi file has been uploaded and I see matches! Hopefully, it's still new for one or all of ya. How embarrassing.

Back at the hotel taking care of the logging while it's still fresh. Tomorrow I head back to PDX. Unfortunately, I need to be back earlier than I'd originally planned. This means that a revisit of CN77 will have to wait for another time. Apologies to the op who'd asked about it.

See that mountain range? That’s Canada. Makes me think about getting a Canadian ticket. πŸ€”

Will be doing 2 passes of RS-44 from CN78 tomorrow. Check for times. That said, I forwarded 'em to X as well.
