    "content": "Yuri, UT1FG/MM, is currently in EK42 in the Pacific Ocean\noff the coast of Guatemala.  He expects to be in EK42 through\nSunday evening March 15th.  He is going to be\ndrifting for the next few days, likely to the northwest.  His\nnext port is Longview, Oregon, but he cannot arrive at the port\nuntil 1 April.  Therefore he is waiting a bit where the weather\nis good before heading up the coast.\n\nHis course up the coast will be fruitfull in terms of new grids.\nAmongst those that are highly sought after are DM02 and CM79 which\nare both part of the Continental US and required for those trying\nto work all 488 Continental USA grids.  His time in DM02 may be\nvery limited and passes may not correspond to his track across\nthe grid.  But Yuri knows that this grid is rare and sought after\nand will do what he can to be there during workable passes.  His\ntime in CM79 will be much longer and it should be possible to work\nhim in that grid.\n\nIn addition Yuri will go through the middle of CN70 through CN76\nwhich all have land on their eastern edge.  These grids are normally\nhard to work but should be relatively easy due to the low horizon\nthat he has on the ship.  His speed is normally around 11-14 knots\nso you can judge how long he will be in a grid.  Each of these\ngrids is about 70 miles from south to north.\n\nHis next port after Oregon is unknown but if he picks up cargo\ndestined for ports in the east, he will likely come back down the\ncoast to the Panama Canal and give everyone another shot at working\ngrids that they missed when he was northbound.\n\nYuri is a very patient operator and skilled at operating with just\none IC706 tuned manually.  Remember that he has to find those calling\nhim.  If you give your call just once he will not likely get it.  Give\nit twice at a reasonable pace, with phonetics, and you will increase\nyour chances of a qso.  Call and then listen for a bit to see if he\ncalls someone.  Yuri is very good at recognizing callsigns that he has\nworked before, even if he just gets a few letters.  But that doesn't\nmean you can rattle off your call without phonetics and expect him to\nget it right.  Phoentics might seem like a waste of precious satellite\ntime but if he doesn't get it the first time, the extra time it takes\nto correct it will be worse.  Yuri's English is very good but remember\nit is not his first language.\n\nYuri uses an ELK antenna mounted on a PVC mast that runs from the deck\nof the Bridge up to the Flying Bridge.  The Flying Bridge appurtenances\ncan block the sky from the port to stern.  For example, if the ship is\ntraveling due north, his signal at lower elevations will be blocked from\n270 to 180 degrees.  See where the satellite is with respect to his\ncourse and you will be able to predict when he may not be able to hear\nvery well.  If he is in range of an AIS station you can get his speed\nand course on marinetraffic.com.  Search for the \"Greenwing.\"  The ELK\nantenna is pointed up at 15 degrees and can be rotated by the crew.\nSometimes you can hear Yuri requesting that they turn the antenna for\nhim (not in English).  The ELK is a few years old now and has been blown\ndown before.  He takes it apart and greases the connections to prevent\nthe salt from destroying it.  Based on what I see the salt do to\nantennas here in Florida, it is amazing that he has been able to keep\nthis antenna in working condition.\n\nYuri has been working on QSL card requests from last season as well as\nthis season.  My guess is that he will mail some from Oregon where they\nwill be sure to go out without problems.  So be patient.   Yuri has a\nmanager, Eugene, UX0FY, however he does not have the logs for the last\npart of the previous season.  Yuri does prefer to do the cards himself\neven if it takes a little longer.\n\nWe have many new operators on the birds and they don't always understand\nwhat it means to have a rare grid on a pass.  Many don't know country\nprefixes to know where a station is, or what grid is rare.  Those who\nhave been around for a while can mentor others and give the rover station\na chance to make more contacts.  Things have changed now that Yuri is\non the west coast.  Suddenly the east coast operators who normally have\na big advantage with Yuri are now at a disadvantage since he is in the\nPacific.  So if you are on the west coast and will have a footprint with\nYuri for a long time or have a shot at a pass that doesn't cover the east\ncoast, hold off so that Yuri can work those who have a very short opening.\nYuri gets on most every visible pass while he is on the move, day or night,\nso passes out over the Pacific will work fine for west coasters.  And if\nthe situation is reversed, hopefully, east coasters will reciprocate.  It\nshould be noted, however, that there is much more interest in working DX\nby those in the east compared to those in the west.\n\nYuri is an amazing operator and has likely operated in more grids than\nanyone.  He is a very experienced Captain and you can see how his crew\nrespects him for that.  We are fortunate to have him on the birds.  Have\nfun working him.\n\n73,\nJohn K8YSE\n\nJohn Papay\[email protected]\n\n",
