Yuri sent some photos of the pilot that gets on the ship out in the ocean and takes it into the Columbia River. They are on my website at:
There is also a grid map showing grids that several stations have worked him in.
He will leave port late Easter Sunday evening or early the next morning. It will take about 6 hours to get out into the ocean and he hopes to be on the satellites Monday afternoon. He may run the -126deg grid line south for several grids.

I'm sure a very well compensated pilot also :D
