He was in GG65 this afternoon on AO-7. He said he was at 3 degrees elevation
when we worked.

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
