[UPDATE!!] W3DHJ/R ARRL JUNE VHF DM86-87-88, DM 77-78
So, wouldn't you know it. After sending out my plans last night, I
received the following reply email from the NPS Capulin Volcano folks: "Hi Marvin. Thanks for contacting us. Our planned re-opening is June 15, however we are in the office and have opened earlier than expected. We may still need to close to "retool" some of our procedures, but I am fairly confident we will be open on the 13th." So, my newest, most current'est plan is to start the contest in DM86as on Capulin Volcano. From there I will move on to several locations in DM86bx on the Colorado/New Mexico border. Next, a wee bit further north for DM87ba. Then a long haul to the northern edge of DM87 and then the southern edge of DM88 ---- all on Saturday. IOW, a lot like my earlier plans -- just with Capulin Volcano inserted at the front. Sunday will see me doing my old, time proven grid sequence of DM78xa, DM77xw, DM87bw, and DM88bb -- circling the 38°N, 104°W conjunction. I'll be operating Rover Limited: 6M SSB-CW, 2M SSB-CW, and 432 SSB-CW.
