[amsat-bb] Off to the Motherland

[Gabriel Zeifman]

Hello fellow bird folk and sky yellers,

I am on the first of four flights now on the way for another one of my
signature trips. This voyage will take me to Poland (Feb 24-28), Lithuania
(Feb 28-Mar 4), Kaliningrad (Mar 4-7), Saint Petersburg (Mar 7-11), Åland
Islands (Mar 11-13), and Helsinki (Mar 13-14). I think the most desired
entities are going to be UA2 and OH0 (unfortunately OH0 is gonna be quick,
get in in the evening and leave in a morning, so two nights and one full
day). I’m hoping to make US contacts from every entity and will try to hit
as many grids as feasible (I’ll have a car in Vilnius and Kaliningrad), but
good transatlantic locations will take precedence over grids. Don’t expect
me on every pass, I’m traveling with family and we’ll be doing touristy
stuff, but I’ll make my best effort to be on the great AO-7 and FO-29
passes across the ocean, updates will be on Twitter @AL6D_Alaska. I’m
operating ninja portable like the good ole days, QRP with two FT-817NDs and
an arrow, hopefully that doesn’t attract too much negative attention from
customs in Russia.

73,
