Hi!
Later today, I will drive to a spot 50 miles/80km or so south of downtown Phoenix in Pinal County for a couple of satellite passes. I will park on the DM32/DM42 grid boundary (112 degrees West) down there in time for an AO-51 pass immediately followed by an SO-50 pass. Both passes go to the east of that location, and the footprints will cover much of North America.
I will be on the AO-51 pass at 0144 UTC, followed by the SO-50 pass around 0158 UTC. I will switch over to SO-50 once I'm not able to hear or work AO-51, since those two passes have a slight overlap around 0158-0159 UTC in that area.
73!
