NJ7H Will be visiting Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands July 14-18 and operating on the ham satellites throughout the trip.
He has put his details on AMSAT-BB. The Iceland leg will be based in Reykjavik with various different grids possible, HP74, 83, 84, 93, 94 and IP03 and 04, "maybe more, maybe less." His on-air callsigns will be TF/NJ7H, OY/NJ7H and OX/NJ7H. He will use a pair of FT-817ND rigs to be QRV on all the voice satellites, FM and SSB and a TH-D72A to work packet on ISS and NO-84. Simplex contacts on 2M and 70cm may be possible with Scotland and Norway from OY, he says. You can send him an email if you are interested in giving that a try. He will have an end-fed dipole that should work on 40, 20 and 10 but says "I rarely operate HF; my primary focus is sats." All his operations will be five watts or less, phone only, SSB and FM. He will do frequent LoTW uploads with eventually some "generic paper cards printed, but LoTW preferred." He will publicize "planned significant passes" on his Twitter, @NJ7H_Radio, with big changes noted on AMSAT-BB. He will try to make his position available when on the move, APRS NJ7H-9 and Iridium satellite, share.garmin.com/gz. Gabe also has the VE6NJH Canadian callsign. Clearly, he "gets around!"
