[amsat-bb] UT1FG/MM Status

[John Papay]

Yuri, UT1FG/MM is currently in Santos, Brzzil awaiting
his turn in port.  Right now he expects to berth on 24December,
Christmas Eve.  There are many ships waiting to go in and
he is far out from the harbor.  He says his anchor is not holding
during the heavy seas and that causes them to drift into GG75.
They are waiting for calmer seas before moving back closer to
port.

Yuri is active on all of the birds and stations in South
America are working him on satellite.  He has no idea where he
will go from Brazil.  The ship is too wide to enter the locks in
the Great Lakes so that is one place he cannot go.  Montreal
is a possibility, though.  Ships name is the Goldeneye.  Track him
on marinetraffic.com  Once he starts traveling to other
grids, the QSL procedure will be set up, probably like before.

73,
John K8YSE
