Folks,

We had some torrential rains and very heavy wind this morning. There was no way for me to operate the 3/29/2010 15:57 UTC AO7 pass. We are expecting more heavy wind all day but the rains have at least stopped. Essentially there has been heavy rain every morning but today was the worst. Think of going through a car wash.

Here is my operational schedule for today 3/30/2010 All times UTC

CONUS contacts: FO-29 @ 03:38 UTC FO-29 @ 05:20 UTC VO-52 @ 06:15 UTC

JA contacts: I will have a partial pass to JA during FO-29 pass at 07:07 UTC. I will be looking for JA 's on SSB only. I can only make about half the pass as I have a house in the way but I will try. There are some mountains in the distance but the satellite may be able to clear them. I guess we will just have to try and see.

All for now. Going to get some rest since I am on vacation.

I am starting to look at the HO-68 schedule to see what opportunities open up in the coming days.

Aloha, Adrian AA5UK/KH6
