I will attempt to activate Cape Hatteras National Seashore SS04 and grid FM25 on the 1949 UTC AO-7 pass. It's 88 degrees elevation. I say attempt because I've never even tried to work a linear bird. I'll be half duplex with an Arrow and Icom IC-706 Mkiig. Please be gentle and patient ;-)
I also got permission to operate from the top of the memorial statue at Wright Brothers National Memorial NM29. I'm going to activate that on the 1254 UTC SO-50 pass tomorrow. It's 81 degrees elevation.

I'll be at Nags Head, North Carolina Saturday through Monday and I plan to activate some of the National Parks while I'm there. There are three nearby: Fort Raleigh, Wright Brothers National Memorial, and Cape Lookout National Seashore.
I will try to activate them on SO-50, and possibly AO-85 if I can get into it (the last time I tried I could barely get in but I think my HT wasn't fully charged).
Sorry I can't provide exact passes at this time, I'm just not sure when I'll be able to do it as I'll be there for other reasons than just sats ;-)
I'll try to send out notifications of passes when I know on amsat-bb and/or Twitter:
