My recently completed /MM job over the last 4 months included the following: 1576 QSOs from 142 unique grids in 18 different grid fields 30,642 miles / 49313 km 13 ports in 9 countries on 4 continents 10 time zones All QSOs have been uploaded to LOTW. Thanks for riding along!

EL84 on on the next FO-29 pass at 11/2228Z as well as XW-2C at 11/2329Z. There are only a couple hits on XW-2C recently on the AMSAT Status page, but I'll give it a go anyway. #amsat @GridMasterHeat

I'll try the following RS-44 passes looking for EU (but everyone else is invited to play!). I won't know my grid until pass time. 11/0404Z 11/1635Z 12/0426Z 13/0256Z 13/1534Z (maybe) 14/0317Z 14/1556Z (maybe) #amsat @GridMasterHeat

We're expecting to leave EM20 tomorrow afternoon LT 4/9 headed to FM26 on the last leg of this trip. JO-97 & AO-91 midday passes & FO-29, RS-44, CAS-4B, & JO-97 late afternoon & evening when possible. EL84 on tap for 3rd & last time Tue 4/11 AO-91 & JO-97. #amsat @GridMasterHeat

We should be in EL39 for AO-91 @ 04/1653Z and JO-97 @ 04/1705Z as we head into port. Both are fairly low passes for me and will be somewhat obstructed by the ship's structure, but I'll try anyway. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

We're now supposed to start moving toward port mid evening tonight to put us in port in EM20 tomorrow midday for a few days. I'll be on JO-97 at 04/0345Z but don't know if we'll be EL38 by then or still EL37. If AO-7 is still in Mode B, CW at 03/2258Z. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

Delays at our port in EM20 are continuing, so we're still hanging back in EL37. There's no word yet on when we'll be able to go in; maybe tomorrow, maybe not. Meanwhile, AO-7 appears to still be in Mode B, so I'll try CW on the 03/2259Z pass around 145.955. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

We're on GMT-5 now, so RS-44 and CAS-4B passes don't fit well with my work schedule, and EO-88 seems to be drifting faster. Today, I'll try FO-29 @ 02/2200Z & 02/2347Z, and JO-97 @ 03/0344Z. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

We're still sitting in EL37 and will be likely for another 24 hours or so before turning NNW to head into port in EM20. Once we start moving, we should go into EL38 and probably EL39.

Patrick WD9EWK has his HOF trash can station. This is my home-away-from-home-away-from-home, the back of the ship, where I've been setting up nearly every day for the last four months of /MM operating; this is from this morning's AO-91 pass.

Lots of Qs from EL84 today. But is it me or is EO-88 taking off like a rocket so to speak; its drift seems more like a slingshot lately maxing out the 10 kc RIT, similar to what I see with XW-2A. Peddling onward into EL74, EL75, and EL65 tomorrow., 3/31. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

Planned ops for EL84: RS44 @ 30/2114Z (EL94), JO97 @ 31/0205Z, 31/0340Z, EO88 @ 31/0322Z, FO29 @ 30/2114Z, 30/2259Z, 31/2203Z Possible: FO29 @ 31/2021Z, JO97 @ 31/1527Z Weak possible: CAS4B @31/1512Z Approx QTH only; maybe too early or too late for EL84. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

We may finally resume our trip westbound and enter EL84 this evening (3/30); it's not locked in but it's likely; GPS rules. QRV on RS-44, FO-29, CAS-4B, & EO-88 late afternoon and evening plus JO-97 midday & evening. After that, "regular" wet grids to EM20. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

We're still sitting in EL94 waiting for things to clear up further down our wet road; maybe tomorrow (3/29). Too bad we can't move on a few miles and sit there since I'd really be able to knock EL84 off the needed list! #amsat @TheGridLife

Weather ahead of us is forcing us to hang back in EL94. I don't know how long we'll be delayed, so I can't update my prediction on when I'll be QRV from EL84. Should be the next couple days though. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

We're outside Miami, so I'm getting my first cell service since December! We'll be in EL84 tomorrow 3/27. I should be QRV on FO-29 @ 2031Z & 2214Z and RS-44 @ 2158Z. (GMT-4 now.) Hopefully all those passes will be from EL84; CAS-4B @ 1618Z weak possible too. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

I'm going to do a one-off shot on RS-44 early tomorrow (Z) for EU at 25/0454Z on about 145.965. We'll probably be in FL28 at that time. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

This evening, FL38 probably on RS-44 & FO-29 and maybe FL28 on JO-97 / EO-88 late. Turning south at FL07 likely tomorrow PM (3/25). #amsat @The_Grid_Life

Our schedule is changing (again!). We should still pass thru EL84, but now I can't be sure when. I'll be QRV there if we go thru outside the work day. Hopefully I'll be able to post an update as we get closer. #amsat @The_Grid_Life

Our route should take us through EL84 on the 27th, a less common grid needed for Grid Master. If our timed sked continued as it has, I'll try to be on from there on FO-29 at about 27/1030Z. We'll miss EL58 "by that much, Chief" however (about 15 miles). #amsat #The_Grid_Life
