Frank KJ7DZ - CN84

The Grid Chaser list has moved to its own X account. Please follow and send your grid updates to @GridChasers Thanks!!

@KC7JPC Looks like its a VE3MMX repeater out Ontario CA and it has no tone.

@KC7JPC I hear it too, what's the CTCSS tone and its location?

@KG0D_Dave @WD5GRW @dtabor Congrats!! Job well done.

Successful RS-44 contact with @WD5GRW Roving in EM-06 today and the last grid square I needed for GridMaster! Previous @dtabor N6UA Rove to CM79 was #487. A bit over five years of chasing satellites. First contact July 13, 2020 with K7VNE on XW-2B. dave

@_wa1jay_ Reach out to AL7JX. He love CW on sats and is from Alaska.

My current CW WAS

👍+ FO-29’s analog transponder will be activated at the following times in October: Oct 3rd 23:36- Oct 5th 00:26-, 23:30- Oct 11th 00:10-, 23:14- Oct 13th 00:04- Oct 17th 22:58- Oct 18th 23:48- Oct 24th 23:31- Oct 26th 00:22-

Congratulations to Robert, WY7AA. He just received an endorsement on his @amsat VUCC/r from 115 grids to 202 grids. Rover's Keep on Rov'In

@dtabor You have my vote Doug.

@midwestneil @k5zm_ @N4AKV_ Great, let know your call sign and I will put down for DN76.

@k5zm_ @N4AKV_ @fhoonhout I'll have a sat station built out in DN76 by this winter.

Officially down to less than 100 grids remaining. Not in a big hurry but, yeah, it's nice when that number drops. Tnx @N4AKV_ re WA2MIS & FN41. Also tnx @fhoonhout for tip re 'ops home grids' tab on your sheet. I'll be making good use of that!

@k5zm_ @N4AKV_ Glad someone is using that tab. I’m always finding more ops living in grids. I think it’s better to contact someone living in the grid instead of someone roving to it.

@AD0HJ @N4AKV_ @GridChasers Ok. Need to correct the list then. I got your grid from QRZ.

@fhoonhout @N4AKV_ @GridChasers EN26 used to be my home grid square for many years. Now I live in EN23 which is about a five hour drive away.

80 grids remaining, not including a couple pending confirmations! I would love to make it onto the @GridChasers 90% list by the end of the year 🙃 I'm working out skeds for some grids that I know have active operators, but any roves would also be much appreciated. 😅

@GridChasers @K8LG_Grace @VE7PTN @KJ4M_R @n1rcn @KQ4DO_JP @AA5PK?

So far, we have 3 GM awards this year. @AB5SS #72 @K8LG_Grace #73 @VE7PTN #74 Ops with 487/488, 1 Grid left. @KJ4M_R - DM82 @n1rcn - CM79 @KQ4DO_JP - CM79 DM82 - Anyone want to be a hero for Gene? CM79 - Rove is planned.

@Santiag99239819 @VE7PTN @WD5GRW Congrats Bruce!! Well done 👍

@VE7PTN @WD5GRW Suerte!!

I am looking forward to EM21 from @WD5GRW for my GM grid 488! Fingers crossed for good conditions.

@N5YIZ_Radio I have update mine to 1.5.

Has anyone with a U.S. or EU version Icom IC-9700 updated to the 1.50 firmware? The Japan firmware is labeled with a "J" which I believe will only load on Japan versions. #hamradio

@K8LG_Grace @K8DP_Doug Congratulations Grace. Proud to have helped you earn this award.

I am excited to share that I’ve earned the AMSAT Grid Master Award #73! I’m the third generation in my family and the first under 21 to achieve it! Huge thanks to my dad @K8DP_Doug and my grandpa K8YSE, and all the rovers who made this possible. I’ve come so far in 4.5 years!

@flo_0_ I'm already running 1.44. Looking I found that version 1.50 has been released. icomjapan.com/support/firmwa…

New firmware version 1.50 for #ICOM IC-9700: icomjapan.com/support/firmwa… and 1.40 for IC-705: icomjapan.com/support/firmwa…
