Rafael, YN2RP, worked several stations last night on the SO-50 pass around 0345Z from Somoto, Nicaragua (EK63). He also listened on an earlier AO-85 pass, but could not get in half duplex with his Yaesu VX-7R HT.
I do not know what his plans for further ops are. He only has limited email access at his current location, but he has told me that evening passes are best for him.
In addition to his HT, he also has a Yaesu FT-857 and may try to work FO-29 half duplex.
If I get any further word on specific passes he plans to operate, I will pass it along to the BB. He will be in Nicaragua until July 22nd.

As an update, YN2RP was on the 1748z SO50 pass where he worked quite a few stations.
Just before his LOS he stated he'll "be on the next so50" - which based on his QTH will likely be the descending passes this PM.
