13 Colonies Special Event - Satops
by Ant Lefebvre 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Hope everyone is having a fun 13 colonies event this year. All 13 colonies are covered by satops this year making a clean sweep possible. If you have twitter, it's worth giving the satops a follow as they may post their working schedule. If you don't you can still click on their handle and it will take you to their page. Trying to limit the FM congestion as much as possible, so look for most on the linear birds throughout the week. Last day being July 7th, but some ops may stop sooner due to personal commitments. 13 Colonies Satop Mapping https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTORN5vbJ6OGtvv7vf32_sLXs2r… http://www.13colonies.us/ 73 -Ant NU1U
