C6AGZ active from the Bahamas (FL06)
KM4RTS is active today from Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas as C6AGZ. I just worked him on the last pass of FO-29. If you need the grid (FL06) or country, he'll be on the following passes using two FT-817s and an Arrow.
UKube-1: 1733Z FO-29: 1810Z AO-7: 2005Z (if in Mode B) SO-50: 2103Z
Gabriel is a new ham. He's only been licensed since March and just started working the linear transponders with two FT-817s a few days ago, but he's doing a great job.
QSL via LoTW or direct to his home call.

was he on this last pass? Could not find him 73 Bob W7LRD

Me neither, Bob -- but I heard you loud and clear!

Yes he was. I wasn't on myself, but I saw some tweets of people working him.
Unfortunately, I also saw that some lids were hammering the transponder with high powered CW, making it difficult for someone with just five watts to get in.
He plans to be on the next AO-7 pass, though if the high power CW lids are still around, then it'll probably jump to Mode A before you're in the footprint.

On the 18:10 UTC FO-29 pass, C6AGZ was around 435.863 MHz (freq. at satellite.) As he drifted more toward the center during the pass, stronger stations than him somewhat overcame his QRP signal.
I recorded the pass in SDR. Unfortunately a few stations on CW showed up running entirely too much power and most other signals on the transponder's pass band got much, much weaker. It's like someone flipped a switch.
