I have a BIG roving trip planned April 20-23, to hand out some infrequently activated grids along the East Coast and operate from some cool places along the way.  In addition, I will take advantage of upping my VUCC/r count by working at least one pass in every grid along my planned route on whatever satellite is available.  This will include a total of 22 grid activations over a 4-day sprint.
My route will take me from EM71 to FM27, down the coast to EM90, then back to EM71, for a total of 1,922 miles
I have tried to include satellite passes that provide coverage to North/Central/South Americas, Europe, and all points in between. Unfortunately, location, a tight schedule, and pass availability does not allow that at every grid.  It is going to be a very tight schedule, so hopefully there are no hiccups.  Here is the schedule: (Grid/AOS/LOS/Satellite/my az-el) - all times UTC
