Saint Barts satellite operation starts Wednesday.

The FJ/N0KV dxpedition to Saint Barts Island in the Caribbean will take 
place April 19 through 26.We expect to be on the air on HF by about 
mid-day local and on satellite passes starting that evening.Operation on 
SO50, FO29, AO85, AO92 is planned.  Given our experience on Montserrat 
in 2015, we will concentrate on evening passes St. Barts time during the 
week and afternoon/evening on weekends.  Equipment is an IC-910H and 
Arrow for VHF/UHF. On FO29 we will transmit at about 145.940 and tune 
the passband for callers.  We will exchange grids (FK87). Looking 
forward to working lots of stations on satellite. Check the FJ/N0KV 
entry on QRZ.COM for further.We expect to post updates and pass plans to
