@VE7PTN Looks like 2025 will be the year for you Bruce!

I now have 466 grids confirmed for ConUS GridMaster. The fall season has been good to me. Thanks for all the QSOs and roving to get me this far.

Starlink now constitutes roughly 2/3 of all active Earth satellites

@flo_0_ @MikeN8MR Yep! Thanks for the Park 2 Park!

@K8ZRY @MikeN8MR Thank you very much for the grids and POTA ref. I was in DE-0795. So guess this was a P2P QSO then :)

Thanks to all for the contacts yesterday! @MikeN8MR & I had a great time making Sat and HF contacts at this gorgeous park. We will return!

@flo_0_ @MikeN8MR This was Mike working you. It really helped that we had no obstructions and just water. 😄

@K8ZRY @MikeN8MR Thank you guys. Didn't know I could work below 1° el from that spot. Guess I have to take more low el passes from there now 😁🤞

Straight after AO-7 worked N8MR aka @MikeN8MR in United States Of America 🇺🇸 (Gridline: EN83,EN84 / distance: 6359 km) on RS-44 🛰️ (0.5° el / 324° az). And also logged @AD0HJ, @NU1U_ant and @N3CAL. Three new grids on a 1° RS-44 pass. Mni Tnx guys. #hamr #wavelog #amsat

@N4AKV_ Seems like you walked yourself into a corner putting "Both" as an option 😂

Thinking tentatively about satellite trips in the future (that I can afford). Any interest in any of these destinations? (Assuming that Greencube won't come back sadly. These would likely be LEO only trips.)

@XE1BJ_HEBER @MikeN8MR @GridChasers @GridMasterHeat @AMSAT @XE1BJ_HEBER FYI, we will attempt at two SO-50 passes tomorrow.

@K8ZRY @MikeN8MR @GridChasers @GridMasterHeat @AMSAT Attentive

K8ZRY & @MikeN8MR roving to EN83/84 Gridline on Saturday (8/31). Keep an eye out on X and hams.at for updates and schedule. Bonus of POTA US-1535!! @GridChasers @GridMasterHeat @AMSAT

All scheduled passes for tomorrow's (8/31) rove to EN83/84 are on hams.at & posted on X. @MikeN8MR & I will be signing as N8MR. I will also be on HF making contacts too. @GridChasers @GridMasterHeat @GridMasterMap @AMSAT

@XE1BJ_HEBER @MikeN8MR @GridChasers @GridMasterHeat @AMSAT Yes, we will do FM too. Although confidence in them being civilized on a holiday weekend will be low.

@K8ZRY @MikeN8MR @GridChasers @GridMasterHeat @AMSAT Something in FM birds Zach?
