Near the centerline should be fine.

The Icom-802 is a great rig, especially so if you also have a ham
license. I highly recommend getting a SCS Pactor III to go with it,
along with free Airmail software for your laptop. The combination is
very versatile and powerful: Email via HF radio, Navtex, weather fax,
position reporting via APRS, etc.

Talk to Gary at Dockside Radio if you need help setting it up or
getting licensed:
