I will be doing long form vlogs these next few weeks. I hope Friday's vlog helps anyone out who might be planning a Hawaiian portable activation for the first time! I'll also be recapping the return trip and telling that whole story.
With reentry of the last birds of the #TEVEL fleet I just updated the status page to reflect the situation. Might remove them completely at some point. Tnx @DavidGr06270644 for the continuous support activating themin the past.

Worked lots of EU stations on a 9° pass of RS-44 from the lighthouse at the end of this pier. If you didn't make it this time, don't worry, more passes coming!
@TomNJ2DX Thank you, excited for the opportunity to give out a new one! Hope to catch you, if there's another pass that works for you other than one I have scheduled feel free to shoot me an email or DM and I'll try my best to oblige.
FN95/96/GN05/06 grid corner, near Catalone, NS. How fortunate that there happens to be a gravel pit right on this corner! The horizons aren't good in all directions but I can't complain too much.
I had a great time operating K2I for 13 colonies last week as a solo effort.
166 contacts, 147 unique callsigns on 9 different satellites - 121 PKT Qs on IO-117, 30 SSB Qs, 15 FM Qs.
114 grids, 25 countries, 35 states.
@flo_0_ Sorry I tried and tried but couldn’t get digipeated. I’ll try to be on the 2045z and 2324z GC passes tomorrow but haven’t checked if you’re in the footprint…
@TomNJ2DX Thanks so much for my last colony on satellites! Really appreciate you sticking with it! Got you right before the bird went behind a house too. 😃
