>> I received some great feedback on grid numbers people feel are rare, 
>> looking
>> at a map I can see why these grids were chosen.
>>
>> Grids: FM13,FM25,FM26,FM27,DL88,DL89,EL84,EL94,CM93,DM02 Someone 
>> mentioned
>> FM02 but the city of Charleston is in that grid... Must be some hams 
>> there?
>> Maybe not active on 6 meters I guess?
>>
>> Mike KA5CVH is in the research phase of planning an expedition to DL88, 
>> DL89
>> for either January or next summer.
>>
>> I am planning to activate FM25, FM26 and FM27, all next summer... With 
>> the
>> way the band has been this past week I doubt it's worth making a trip 
>> there
>> this summer. Might end up talking to myself for days. I am considering 
>> going
>> back to FM13 again also.
>>
>> There will be a web site setup at http://www.gridhunters.com for grid
>> expedition information. I believe Mike KA5CVH is planning on posting
>> information on his site as well http://www.ka5cvh.com/vhf/dl79.htm.
>> Operators are needed and it would be nice to form a couple teams in
>> different areas of the country. I had a great time when I was in FM13 
>> alone,
>> I'm sure operating for a longer period and with multiple operators would 
>> be
>> even more fun. Expeditions do not need to be DX, sure exotic locations 
>> would
>> be fantastic but activating grids that people need can be just as fun. 
>> Look
>> at EL94  and EL84 :-)
>>
>> So if your in Texas and are interested in activating grids contact Mike, 
>> he
>> lives near Houston. If your on the SE side of the country contact me, I'm 
>> in
>> Durham, NC. When we activate these grids we will operate at least 6m, 2m 
>> and
>> digital modes if someone has that capability, I don't at the moment. All 
>> of
>> the equipment I own was purchased with portable operation. License class
>> does not matter, neither does level of experience. If you have a good
>> attitude and want to have some fun come on out.
>>
>> On the Six Club site there is a message board for expeditions also,
>> announcements will be made there and on this list.
>>
>> Let's get planning for summer 2006.
