Lively pass of RS-44 with @ChrisVE3FU (VO1FUA) dealing with a bit of a Western pileup. Thanks Chris for the new Province and Grid! Coast to Almost Coast – at Abbotsford, British Columbia

Thanks @dtabor for activating DM84 on the great old bird AO-7 and the new grid which is my last of the CONUS 488! Doug was my 3rd QSO ever and many in between, so glad to hear him say QSL! Thanks to all you rovers! – at Chilliwack, British Columbia

Thanks to everyone in this Ham Radio community! So many smart, helpful, generous and funny people with incredibly diverse technical and cultural backgrounds. HAM RADIO the original social network! So glad I joined you all! Now to get roaming and give some grids back! 73 – at Chilliwack, British Columbia

Thanks @KB5FHK_Tom for slogging it out on AO91 and for the new grid! I appreciate you going to those hard to get to grids! Have fun out there, the weather is a lot better than here. – at Abbotsford, British Columbia

Thanks @N5BO_Justin for my last grid of the 488 EAST of the Mississippi! My map would look a lot different without your roving efforts 👍🇺🇸📡🇨🇦 – at Abbotsford, British Columbia

Missed @N5BO_Justin on RS-44 just now even though I heard him all the way from AOS to LOS. Why? Because my cheat sheet Uplink freq was fat fingered 200kHz off. Didn't realize I wasn't even transmitting in the passband. 😱😱😱 Thanks for being there Justin, still learning. – at Abbotsford, British Columbia

T minus 4. If anyone happens to go into any of these grids with an Arrow I would love to know! Thanks for all the #HAMSAT ops and especially the Rovers!

Thanks @N5BO_Justin for my last 2 Florida grids! Your roving efforts are very appreciated. Hope your having fun, from the sound of that last pileup it sounds like a Yes! 73

And then there were 9. Thanks to all my #HAMSAT friends who activate grids all over the world. And a special shout to Rovers like @N5BO_Justin, @WL7T_ ,@VE1OTA ,@BrucePatten ,@ve1cwj ,@SeanKutzko, @KB5FHK_Tom who put on serious miles and bring their radios with them!

Thanks Bruce @BrucePatten for qso on SO-50 from "up North". It was a real battle of a pass. I think everybody has figured out you are activating some real rare ones. Thanks for operating on your epic bike trip!

Thanks @ve1cwj John for activating PEI and the NO on RS-44. That was my first contact within the Province. QSL card headed your way.

Thank Tim @w3ipa for sticking with me on a very busy Canada Day pass of AO-91! Thats a new grid for me! Other rovers out there too like @WD9EWK! You guys make this grid collecting obsession a lot of fun! Happy 🇨🇦 day!

Thanks @WL7T_ for using AO-7 and ANO! See that dip, that is where the bird must be for me to work it below 4d from the valley floor. The 18:21z was 6d so had some wiggle room.

Really stoked to work @WL7T_ at the FN57/FN67 line on the great old AO-7! I've never even heard those grids on, although they are a wee bit away from CN89. Thanks Tyler for flying that wee bit away from Alaska to rove.

And the chase resumes... Thanks Tyler @WL7T_ for roving Maine and the new grid! Hope to catch a few more. Have fun and stay safe.
