I'm planning to be on the AO-7 pass (CW) later today at about 17/2140Z from either FK01 or FK00, other passes up to mid evening should be FK00, and finally FJ09. I'll try to set up about 5 kHz above the center of each linear satellite's band segment.

 

Our Canal transit will take most if not all day tomorrow (4/18). There are webcams positioned along the canal that update every 30 seconds or so as I remember it. Their web addresses are:

My ship is fairly large (675 feet long), and has five yellow-ish cranes on the main deck area, and a black hull with a white stack in the back. The stack has grey, blue, and yellow/gold horizontal identification stripes. The helicopter flight deck is at the back (stern) of the ship; its markings are all white and include a large landing circle. If the weather holds (possible showers), I'll have a 6-foot ladder set up in front of the landing circle where I operate from. If you happen to spot me at the ladder, please do a screen capture and let me know; it might make a good QSL! Please don't send attachments at this time however since our e-mail system is at its slowest capability because of minimized satellite connectivity. 73/Jim, ND9M
