[amsat-bb] Hawaii BL11 on AO51 today?

Aloha All

I've noticed that AO-51 will have a maximum elevation of 2 degrees on todays "easterly" Hawaiian pass. The footprint will extend from Honolulu to near the western border of Iowa. To date, my "longest" AO-51 QSO has been with K7ULS near Eden, Utah. This may be an opportunity to extend that distance. I am willing to give it a try. The pass "over" Hawaii will be from 0232Z to 0236Z today. I should be at the beach with my Arrow and D700 shortly before that (5 Watts). At minimum, I will get to see some nice sceney on the way to the beach HIHI. Hope to hear you.

Aloha and 73, de robert NH7WN in Honolulu.
