Good evening satellite operators,
I am traveling with my family tomorrow and Friday, December 27th and 28th, and am bringing my satellite gear to do a few passes along the way. I will be passing through EM97, FM07, FM08, and FM17 in Virginia. FM07 and FM08 seem to be the most needed, so my primary goal is to work some passes from those grids. I will also try to do a pass or two from FM17 and EM97. I upload all of my satellite QSOs to LOTW, and enjoy confirming by QSL cards as well. :)
This is primarily a family trip, so when I'm on satellite passes depends on what the rest of my family is doing. As a result, I don't know specifically what passes I will be on. However, I am planning to do a couple of midday passes both days and an evening pass or two as time allows. I will be on FM passes for sure, but hope to get on the linear birds as well depending on timing.
Here’s a rough schedule with my guess at passes. Tomorrow, December 27th, I hope to make the 1753z AO91 pass from either FM07 or FM17. I may be able to get on a late night pass from FM17 as well tomorrow evening. Friday, December 28th, I plan on a midday pass or two from FM07, FM08, or the gridline if I can get to a good spot in time. I'm hoping to be on a few more passes from FM07/FM08/EM97 on the way home that evening.
I will do my best to post here once I know a specific pass I’ll be on from a particular grid. I hope I can help you confirm some needed grids!
