Update August 22: The activation from CN93 scheduled for August 22nd is cancelled. Forest fires throughout Oregon including near CN93 have produced smoke resulting in unhealthful air quality, particularly in the mountains. It is therefore not safe to activate CN93 on this trip.
As you noticed I did not have Internet access the past two days.. I just uploaded to LoTW 44 QSOs for DN03 and 35 QSOs for DN04.
Total QSO count for the week was 259.
Thanks everyone for your patience. At one time I counted 28 signals on the waterfall at the same time. 28 X 5 minutes = 2+ hours. A long wait.
I will post photos and a complete list of contacts to my QRZ page, late tomorrow California time. If there are any problems, please email my gmail account petervanh143@gmail.com
I am planning a similar multi-grid activation for the week of October 10th.
Thanks everyone

Update August 13:Adding an additional day of CN91 activation on August 15 at 0945UTC. See final updates
Update August 6: I have added CN81 to the list and extended the activation through August 22nd.
