The NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) has issued a Broadcast Warning (the maritime version of a NOTAM) for Feb 21 UTC, and the alternate days, Feb 22 - 25 UTC. (Text appended.) http://www.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/StaticFiles/MISC/warn/dm_p.html The time period each day is 02:30 - 05:00 UTC. The restricted zone is the same for all days, and is identical to that of the NOTAMs issued to-date. I have updated my chart to include the new information: http://satobs.org/seesat_ref/06057A/USA_193_NOTAM_Feb_21-25_UTC.pdf I believe it is now clear that the first attempt to destroy USA 193 is planned for 2008 Feb 21 UTC, at the time when USA 193 arrives in the area, shortly before 03:30 UTC. In North America's eastern time-zone, this corresponds to Feb 20 at 10:30 PM EST. In Hawaii, the local time will be Feb 20, 05:30 PM. USA 193 arrives 9 min earlier each day, and about 3.5 deg further west. Ted Molczan NAVAREA XII 52/2008(19,83). NORTH PACIFIC. HAWAII. HAZARDOUS OPERATIONS. 1.
