Here's my planned ops for tonight and Thursday. Pse note that as we sail further south, AO27 becomes less available to me. I'm already leaving the footprint before the seven-minute timer runs out, and it'll get worse for me before it gets better.
There'll be only pass available while we're in DK68 tonight, and it's a westerly pass that'll be low at my QTH. Hopefully a few ops will get this one as we'll likely be out of the grid by the time the oh-dark-30 FO29 pass comes around. Also, we will probably be in DK96 for a couple hours, but no passes are expected while we're in that grid, so that one will be a wash. Planned VO52 - 17/0317Z - DK69 VO52 - 17/0455Z - DK68 (very low western pass here) FO29 - 17/1016Z - DK78 AO7 - 18/0021Z - DK86 VO52 - 18/0200Z - DK86 AO7 - 18/0216Z - DK86 FO29 - 18/0922Z - DK95 Probably VO52 - 17/1516Z - DK77 AO27 - 17/1916Z - DK77 AO27 - 17/2046Z - DK87 FO29 - 17/2325Z - DK86 VO52 - 18/0334Z - DK86 Maybe AO51 - 17/1109Z - DK78 FO29 - 17/1203Z - DK78 or DK77 (western pass) AO51 - 17/1249Z - DK77 VO52 - 17/1653Z - DK77 (western pass) SO50 - 17/2136Z - DK87 or DK86 (very close to the line) FO29 - 17/2141Z - DK87 or DK86 (very close to the line) AO51 - 17/2211Z - DK86 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC Grid DK69 _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
