Vern,

On the road north from Flagstaff (93?) to the South rim turn, JUST beyond the turn (stay heading north, not as far as the tourist trap) on the EAST (right) side of the road, is a cabin on a trailer (really!).

Stop there!

Roasted meats (beef, LAMB, chicken), potatoes, chili peppers, corn on the cob and best of all FRY BREAD!  The full meal is $7.  She closes around 4:30 if not busy.

You'll want to say "Ah hyeh heh" for the meal (Dine, Navajo for thank you).

BEST fry bread in the region (second best was the Navajo omelet at Painted Desert and THAT was yummy).  The fry bread at the tourist trap (mostly imported junk) was 'adequate'.

Dave:  The bands may work, they may not.  It kind of depends on the band(s) you want to use and if you want DX.  It seems that when the high bands get clobbered, the low bands perk up (less noise mostly).

With a geomag storm happening about every three days anyway (A was at 70 a week or so ago!), just go have a good time when you can.

Rick

Dave,

I won't have internet access at the North Rim Grand Canyon on that Saturday.  Text me and maybe we can connect on 40.

Have fun!!

Verne, K6DN

Jordan WC6J and I had planned to do NPOTA and SOTA activations this weekend in the Bay Area but have now canceled. We have rescheduled the trip for the following Saturday. Watch for our spots on the clusters as well as on SOTAWatch.org. We plan to work 20 and 40 meters SSB.

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.
