2021 Road Trip - Update 53: EN56 and EN67 Activations - September 3 and 5, 2021

EN56su - Moonrise 0705UTC September 3, 2021.

I will activate EN56su on a cliff overlooking Lake Michigan on Friday morning September 3rd.

The location is the "Baraga Cliff Roadside Park" which is a rest area US Highway 41 30 minutes South of my basecamp.  This should be an exceptional location with very low noise.  Here is a photo in the direction of Moonrise.



Interesting note.  This park is located on US Highway 41 in Northern Michigan.  I live on the SAME U.S. Highway in Florida, US Highway 41 in Ruskin Florida.  The distance between the two points is 1593 miles or 2563 km.  I am also currently at the furthest point from my home in Florida.  Starting on Sunday I will be gradually working my way south back to Florida.

Activation specifics:

  • EN56SU28UT - Moonrise 0705UTC September 3, 2021.  2M EME 144.132 2nd JT65B.  I plan to be QRV until at least 1300UTC if required.  I can also be available for 222 EME after 2M operations complete

EN67 - Moonrise 0919UTC September 5, 2021

I will activate EN67al on the Northern end of the Keewenaw Penninsula in Michigan.  The site is a roadside picnic stop directly looking over Lake Superior.  It should be an outstanding location.  The elevation is elevated.

Activation specifics:

  • EN67AL54WV - Moonrise 0919UTC September 5, 2021.  2M EME 144.132 2nd JT65B.  I plan to be QRV until at least 1500UTC if required.  222 operations are not planned.  There may not be Internet access at this remote location
