We'll be in DK96 for about 90 minutes, but there are no passes scheduled for that time frame. Also, we're advancing our clocks tonight to GMT -6, so my work sked moves to 1400-2300Z for the next few days.
Our voyage plan will start using latitude and longitude points that coincide with quad grid points, so predicting what grid I'll be in on certain passes will get a bit cagey. It also opens up the possibility of crossing from one grid to another and maybe even a third during the same pass! The GPS calls the shots.
Also, we're moving further south which limits my access to AO27 and its 7-minute window. By the time the satellite turns on, it's already passed its high point at my QTH. I'm now down to three minutes on a low pass to five minutes on a high one before I lose the bird entirely. My apologies if I disappear while you're still calling.
