Thanks for showing up from the EM88/EM98 boundary on AO-27
earlier this afternoon.  After my 400-mile road trip to DM23/DM24
yesterday, it was nice to pick up a couple of new grids from
"home".

Now if you could go out there early or late in the month...  ;-)

In all seriousness, EM97 would be another nice one for the log,
If you're going there while I'm here in Phoenix, great!  If not,
