2021 Road Trip - Update 73: Summer 2021 EME Expedition Complete - September 28, 2021 2100UTC

I have decided to head home to Florida in the next few days and will not do additional 2M EME activations during the trip.  I don't have enough energy left for another week of activations that start at Midnight or 1:00AM local time and continue until dawn :-)

This area of the Southeastern US is within a one day (long) drive of my home base and I plan to come back up to this area in the next few months to activate the additional rare grids in KY, TN, AL, MS.   I will probably do the first trip in the first half of November.

I have had a great trip and THANK-YOU to everyone who has called over the last three months.

After I return home to Florida I will look at the logs, locations and statistics and publish an update.

If you are missing any confirmations please send me an email.

73, Peter
KA6U

    Peter, thank you very much for the opportunity to conduct a QSO with the rare squares of America. Nice to see my callsign among the first in your log. Of all your trips, I was unable to make QSOs with you on 144 MHz twice because of the short lunar window. Hope you continue to bring joy to all of us. I wish you good health and energy. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
    Sergey RX1AS.
