Howard G6LVB will be in Svalbard (JW prefix) at the end of this month and intends to be active on the satellites. He should be workable from any satellite pass over Northern Europe. All I can say is, rather him than me, as it s a bit too cold for my liking.

I will be travelling to Svalbard (JW prefix, 78.15 deg N, 16.02 deg E) in the next few weeks (currently I am looking at 26, 27 and 28 August) to do some minor upgrades to a satellite station at http://www.svalsat.com I am
intending to take some LEO satellite gear with me, so if you d like to add JW to your DXCC list let me know.
Despite its northerly location, it has coverage to Canada and the North Eastern US as well as Japan.
I will definitely be active on AO-51, SO-50, AO-27, PO-28 (let s hope) and if I have room for SSB equipment I will operate FO-29, VO-52 and possibly AO-7. The ISS never travels far enough North for me to take a shot at it.
There are no plans to take any HF gear, whatever that is 😉 73, Howard G6LVB
