I was able to get on from FK01 and FK00 this afternoon and evening. The late CAS-4A/4B passes were the last for the night because another thunderstorm was approaching and prevented me from getting on from FJ09 which was just a couple miles further. Despite the clouds, a big patch of sky opened up later on and gave me a great view of the Southern Cross during the CAS-4A/4B passes.
We'll transit the Canal tomorrow, so FJ08 and FJ07 should be available. I'll be looking to get on XW2A/D/F, RS-44/CW, and CAS-4A/B, depending on weather. Op freq should be about 5 kHz up from each satellite's band center.
E-mail is at a crawl, so hopefully this will go out. 73/Jim, ND9M
