Yesterday was a busy day of sea kayaking, exploring the Grace Bay shops, and checking out the Island Fish Fry, so I had no time allocated for radio. I still managed about an hour on 20m FT8 🙂 I only worked around twenty stations using a tuned wire strung up outside our condo, but it was fun. I even worked my brother KK4LWR who is in the Orlando area.
Today I am hoping to have a more devoted satellite effort. Off the bat, I am planning two passes this morning:
- 1457z ISS FM
- 1507 RS-44 fixed uplink 145.960
Beyond that, I will try to get on some others later in the day and will send out notification messages from my inReach specifically if I do.
As for HF, I may try some evening 30m FT8 as well.
