Hi!

I will make a quick trip to New Mexico to activate some grids on Friday,
29 March 2019. My plans are to work the midday AO-91 passes from the
DM52/DM62 grid boundary west of Deming. Later in the afternoon, I plan to
work a couple of SO-50 passes from the DM61/DM62 grid boundary south of
Deming. Both of these locations are in New Mexico's Luna County. In
between the AO-91 and SO-50 passes, I will work other passes from one of
these grid boundaries. I may skip the morning AO-92 passes, depending on
where I am when those passes come up. I will drive over 300 miles/500km to
get to the Deming area Friday morning. I won't stay in that area into the
evening, as I need to get to Tucson in the evening, before a hamfest there
on Saturday (30 March) morning.

During the day, I will use my @WD9EWK Twitter account to post updates. For
those who don't use Twitter, my tweets are readable in a web browser at:

APRS coverage should be pretty good in that area. I use WD9EWK-9 as my
call sign for APRS when on the road, and my track should be visible at:

All contacts made from this New Mexico trip will be uploaded to Logbook of
the World. If you would like a QSL card for a contact with WD9EWK in New
Mexico, please e-mail me directly with the QSO details. There's no need to
first send me your QSL card or an SASE to get my card.

73!
