Here is my more detailed schedule. I will operate while in motion, but
I will stop at good locations and raise the better 6M antenna at the
following stops:
Start on the top of Albuquerque's west mesa
DM64 at Pajarito Road
1800Z - 1845Z
A short hop north to Paseo del Volcan on 9 mile hill
DM65
1900Z - 1945Z
Then on I40 to Prewitt NM and
DM55
2130Z to 2215Z
Back to I-40 and Holbrook, AZ
I will just kiss the corner of DM54 on the way, and if I can find a
place to stop I will, but it doesn't look like much is there. No
matter as I will hit DM54 on Sunday
DM44
0015Z to 0100Z
Back on I-40 to Flagstaff and
DM45
0230Z until the Band drops
We will spend the night in Flagstaff and I will operate in the motel
parking lot until the band folds. Or I fold. The next morning we will
hit the road at 1300Z on the road to east entrance Grand Canyon.
Sunday will be a long day, so I intend to operate only while in
motion, or with brief stops only.
DM46
1445Z
on to South entrance Grand Canyon
DM36
1515Z
then to Williams in
DM35
1630Z
Back to Flagstaff and
DM45
1845Z,
East to Holbrook
DM 44 at 2015
Southeast to Saint Johns, AZ
DM54 at 2130
Then Northeast to Gallup and
DM55 at 0000Z
East on I-40
DM65 at 0045Z
Home to DM65 -Cedar Crest
DM65 0245Z
If the band is open, I will operate from the drive, otherwise I will
probably pack it in.
Times subject to variance. If the band is open I may linger. The
second day is ambitious, os if plans change, please forgive.
Also, look for AA5B in DM75 on Saturday and possibly in DM65 and DM64
on Sunday. I loaned him a 6M rig and he will try to get on.
If anyone is interested, I have started a Blog. I am posting a map of
my rove there as well as this description. It will take me a bit of
time to do that, so don't check right away.
Listen for the weak ones. - Duffey
