Information

Update Mar,4: Busy day here exploring the islands and consuming way too much food at brunch.
I saw an earlier FO-29 pass at 23:52Z that would have been great to South America and I am sorry I won't be available for that pass due to prior commitments.
I will try to make the FO-29 pass at 0136UTC. I have noticed I have trouble with the first 1/3 of the pass getting in due to heavy load on the bird. So please be patient. We had a nice pile up going last night and I think I was able to catch most folks. If you missed me don't worry more opportunities from Little Cayman starting the 6th through 10th. Not sure yet about the 5th.

I have not had time yet to transcribe the recordings yet to load to LOTW. Please be patient, remember I am on vacation!! Satellite operations comes second.
