[amsat-bb] Satellite Operation from the USS IOWA

Greetings, all

I'll be operating for the BSA JOTA event from the USS IOWA in San Pedro on 20 October from 1600 UTC to 2300 UTC.

We'll be using the callsign NI6BB.

Pass predictions indicate we can use FO-29, AO-27, and AO-7.

I'll concentrate mostly on the linear birds, as I "kinda sorta" don't want to expose the Scouts to the pandemonium of an FM satellite on the weekends.

I *will* listen, though, and if it doesn't sound too crowded, I'll try and make some FM contacts, too.

We also have a couple of great ISS passes, but I don't know what mode the ham station on the ISS will be in that weekend.

Hope to work some of you from the IOWA!

73, Jim KQ6EA
