Day 8 at sea:
I woke up this morning at 09:40, just in time for the helicopter practice. In the afternoon, when the weather improved, we began flying supplies and personnel onshore. The first test flight took off at 17:02, and we continued with two more passengers and three more cargo round trips until 19:05. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get on the helicopter before sunset.
We will continue transporting the remaining supplies and personnel to the island tomorrow. Hoping the weather will be good.
Day 7 at sea:
Today is our arrival day. We officially entered Norwegian territorial waters at 06:35 (UTC+1) and spotted Bouvet Island for the first time around 9 am.
Our ship is currently holding position about one nautical mile northeast of Bouvet Island. According to the weather forecast, there may be a window of good weather just before sunset tomorrow. We will review with the helicopter pilot for the latest weather conditions and decide on the landing time tomorrow in the morning.
Stay tuned.

Setup on one of my computers.
Here's the default state on one of my radio room computers. It is connected to an SDRplay RSPduo. The duo has two tuners or VFOs, each of which can have its own antenna.
Here the left hand side shows an APRS iGate setup with Direwolf handling the processing. This part handles both terrestrial (144.39 MHz) and ISS APRS (145.825 MHz) but I do not yet have the switching automated.
The right hand side is shown listening to the main 2m repeater in Vancouver, VE7RPT, but it can be reset quickly for say SSTV. It is connected by virtual audio cable to RX-SSTV.

Wondering when you will get the next chance to work one of the #HamRadio's on the Space Station? Use a pass tracker to find out when it's overhead.
