Hi!

It's Monday evening, or Tuesday (14th) on the UTC clock. I was on the 0218-0230 UTC VO-52 pass as K7UGA, and plan to work one more pass this evening - an SO-50 pass at 0351-0405 UTC. Thanks for the QSOs so far!

On Tuesday in the early afternoon, I hope to work the SO-50 pass at 1943-1958 UTC. I can't stretch my lunch time to cover the AO-27 pass that starts about 2019 UTC, and SO-50 gives me more time to (hopefully) work stations than I can in the 7 minutes on AO-27.

For Tuesday evening (early Wednesday on the UTC clock), I am looking to work the following passes:

VO-52 at 0235-0247 UTC (satellite passing directly over my head) VO-52 at 0413-0422 UTC (low pass over the west coast) SO-50 at 0420-0433 UTC (starting to my north, going around to southeast)

I may stop working the VO-52 pass around the time SO-50 comes up from the horizon, as I don't have great visibility to the northwest from my house.

For Wednesday, I'm hoping to work one midday pass:

SO-50 at 1832-1845 UTC (starting to my south, going around to northeast)

I am not sure about my Wednesday evening (early Thursday, UTC) plans yet. I plan on working passes on Thursday morning and around midday from the back yard (VO-52, SO-50, possibly AO-27) before driving to Yuma and on to California. I may skip working passes Wednesday evening, and focus on the daytime operating Thursday morning instead. I'll post more about that tomorrow night or Wednesday morning.

73!
