[amsat-bb] Anyone need some grids around Arizona?

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Hi!

It's mid-summer, time to make trips away from the desert to cooler places
and work satellites. I have already made a couple of trips north to work
from DM34 and DM35 in June. Are there other grids that people need around
northern Arizona? Options include...

DM34/DM44 grid boundary: along I-17, near Camp Verde AZ
DM35/DM45 grid boundary: north or south of I-40, west of Flagstaff AZ
DM54/DM55 grid boundary: along I-40, east of Holbrook AZ

I know there have been some travelers working satellites across
northern Arizona, but it always seems like those grids are new
for someone whenever they show up on the satellites. I have been
to those places many times in the past, and enjoy making return
trips to put them on the air.

I could go to other places that don't have the cooler weather, like the
DM23/DM24 boundary in western Arizona, or the DM52/DM53 boundary in
southeastern Arizona - places I have visited already, earlier this year.
Something like DM32 is not far from the Phoenix area, and can get there
in less than an hour's drive. After two trips to grid DM31 in February,
and the very hot temperatures down there in summertime, I will probably
not try to get back down there until sometime after summer is done.

Thanks in advance, and 73!
