Does anyone know where exactly the two remaining chicago axons are? I'm gonna give them a try and would love any help anyone from the area can offer.
Here are the 2 chicago ones, I might go to these, not sure yet because I want to try to get to shaumburg early. I have answered these phones for a few axons before.
41.933446 -087.645575 11:13 PST at the Century Mall
41.947079 -087.653555 12:28 PST at the Addison Redline
Century mall phone: Fourth floor, by the concession stand at the movie theatre, on the way to the bathrooms. It'll be the right-hand phone in a bank of two. Nice, clear ring, nice volume level.
Addison red line phone: On the platform! That's right, pay your $1.75 CTA fare and head up, and then go to the NORTH end of the platform. The GPS does point to the phone that is directly above Addison itself, but that's not the phone. Go north, young beekeeper, and bask in the shadow of Wrigley - and hope that both trains don't come in as you're answering the call! Nice clear ring on this one, too, and decent volume level.

Raleigh, NC axons! In case any of the Phantom Raleigh Beekeepers are reading this and want to get in on the last of the action...
I cannot answer the 1059 PST axon at the Wilmington St. phone (35.776983, -78.638117) because of work. If anyone wants it, it's fair game. I will, however, get the 1304 axon at same location since it's after work.
(Not that I wouldn't appreciate meeting y'all, but I'm just warning you. )

Looks like the OKC axon is going to go unanswered this time.

Hope someone else can handle Dallas for once, since I'm heading down for the training in austin.
I'll grab the Dallas calls before I head out. There are like 3 of them around 1:30pm local, so I can swing by union station and answer them, then take my personal call on the road.
I'll meet you there, didn't realize it's before we head out.

I've got 2, my crew call at 10:13, and the UMN axon at 11:43.
I don't want to jinx myself, but I'm surprised I've managed to not get fired yet.

I am going to try(emphasize try...) to get to the braintree, MA one tomorrow(part of the 10:59 group PST). Is anyone else going to come? I've never been able to be at the phone before since I work Tuesdays.

Looks like I"m going to miss the 12:42 axon, but I'll try to hit the 11:54 axon if I possibly can (and yes, these are the 35... -106... axons I speak of). So for the last time, I request help from anyone in the Abq area to pick up either of those. PM me for details on location (I've got them narrowed down to two specific phones)... Ahhh, who'm I kidding?
You guys have fun at the training exercise, I'll be out there working for the transmission of truth. Please send pics!

As noted on the update page contact me has updated and there are 45!!!! .wavs to unlock! So much for all those who complained about all the "loose ends" that were left Sunday!
Get those phones!
Do we need a coordination thread, or are we just going to assume that there will be no question? If I were the first on the list I would be practicing my use of Flea++!

Well looks like they are being nice. there are a couple of personal axons in each wav, so even if we are on our way to the training we can still get an axon. makes things eaiser. I was worried with so many people gone we would hve problems.
