Paulo was on AO7 on the 1955Z pass with good sigs. I heard him work 7-8 stations before his LOS. He was around 145.955 down.

Paulo PV8DX and Abilio PV8AZ are planning a grid expedition to FJ93wf, 1600utc 03 January to 1200utc 04 January 2015. Operation will be from a 400m high mountain. They will operate with a battery/generator on the satellites. It will be a difficult trip up the mountain.
They will also be able to monitor 28.390 thanks to a 10m to 2 meter repeater operated by their club LABRE. They will be able to transmit as well as receive using this system.
Paulo asks that everyone be patient as they will be operating under very difficult conditions. Although not specified, Paulo usually operates on the linear birds but don't rule out SO-50 if in range.
Paulo has a very nice portable station and everyone should be able to hear him and make a contact. This is likely a new grid for everyone. Good luck.
