[ADXA] Satellite coverage is there but is the boatelectronically working?

[HamOP]

I take a nap from noon til 2:45PM… 😊  Then it takes me 15 min to get the plastic cork out of bottle with a Phillips screwdriver.  Not easy. You’d think they would have a screw cap….

Good red wine, only $1.49 at Cheers Liquor. Rated #187 in NA for Merlot. Made in Stuttgart, AR. Ain’t bad. Beats my usual $3 wine… Burp.. Can’t wait til 3PM to start it again.

No, I am not willing to ask Dom nor am I willing to pay his expenses to travel to Arkansas!!

Couldn't resist that one!

Just another glitch in the 3Y0 saga. Not sure of certain world areas that are not covered by the satellite systems but the extreme south Atlantic would be one. The problem is they are still SO CLOSE to most shipping lane that the Satellites should have no problems in locating them. 
 
Maybe UFOs are involved?  I know 2 well known DXped friends of mine who DID see UFOs on two places there were on in the past 4-5 years. Can not divulge the info or would be giving away the guys. They were told by military people that UFOs were common occurrences in the quiet southern portions of our Pacific and Atlantic oceans. I watch Ancient Aliens religiously. Recent documented info over the past 2-3 years is very revealing, including our own astronauts who were sworn to secrecy decades ago, including on the "back side" of the moon sightings. We never see the back side from earth. Now as they guys are old enough, they are speaking of their experiences, and most people are not afraid of the "truths" after Project Bluebook was published and Roswell NM was exposed... It is what it is..  
 
Maybe Dom and crew will tell us stories of being captured and place delicately on Bouvet?  I just wait like the rest of us. Best DXpedition story of 2019 for sure. Maybe the ADXA can get Dom to speak at our annual 2019 December ADXA meeting.  Joel, are you willing to ask him? And, who would pay his way here and back to Europe?

Did a search and couldn't come up with anything better San.  AIS is a VHF marine channel that IS monitored by satellites.  However, I'm not sure how reliable it is in the South Atlantic.  The Russians completely disrupted the GPS coverage in the North Atlantic during the NATO games according to proof supplied by Norway.  Maybe some of the Russian hams...................................:)))))

Just got thru checking the position of the 3Y0 boat on all 3 links. The personal Dom link stopped at # 17, over 5 hours ago. Other two links also show boat still up northward, near tip of ZS, just where it was 5 hours ago. Almost like no GPS link is working now. Anyone got a link that IS working and shows recent position, not 5 hours ago?? .. TU
