Default Message from Skip on Flying Pig...

This message came in tonight on my email from Skip via ham radio:


From NQ5H:

Spoke with Skip, KI4MPC/mm on the Flying Pig.

He requests a Shiptrack entry:

Time 6:15 PM EDT
31d 17m N
80d 51m W
ETA Charleston "in about 24 hours."

73
H.
NQ5H
NCS


Looks like they're gonna make it! I hope he's not traveling due N, though.
80W intersects land almost exactly at the mouth of the Kiawah River on the
N end of Kiawah Island, SC!

They have reasonably good wx tonight off SC, except for a few thunderstorm
