[amsat-bb] WD9EWK road trip in southeastern Arizona on 3-4 May 2019

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Hi!

I previously posted that I will be at the hamfest in Sierra Vista AZ on
4 May 2019:

On the day before the hamfest (Friday, 3 May 2019), I will have time to
visit one - or maybe both of the rarely-heard grid boundaries in that part
of Arizona:

1. DM51/DM52 line, south of Willcox AZ near US-191 in Cochise County AZ
2. DM52/DM53 line, northwest of Safford AZ along US-70 in Graham County AZ

Adding in the afternoon/evening following the hamfest, I might be able to
make a stop in one of those places, if I'm not able to visit both before
the hamfest.

I have been to both of these locations in the past few months; I visited
DM51/DM52 a couple of weekends ago, and was at DM52/DM53 in late December
2018. It always seems like someone is looking for these grids, whenever
I visit this part of Arizona. If you have a preference on where I could
stop during this road trip, please e-mail me directly.

There is a possibility that between the Friday (3 May) and the Saturday
afternoon (4 May) after the hamfest I could visit both of these
boundaries. I will try to post an update to this list when I settle on
my drive on 3 May, as well as post updates on my @WD9EWK Twitter feed. My
travels that weekend should be visible on APRS as WD9EWK-9:

Thanks, and 73!
