REMARKS:
TASKED INVEST AT COORDINATES 13.5N 53.5W. SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY AN AREA 
OF INTEREST, HOWEVER, SATELLITE IMAGERY HAS SHOWN STEADY 
ORGANIZATION. ANTICIPATE CLOSING THE CIRCULATION AND FIXING CENTER AT 
00Z. 

HAD SOME SATCOM TROUBLES TO BEGIN WITH ON THE GROUND AND IT APPEARED 
THEY HAD BEEN RESOLVED SO WE TOOK OFF. ONCE IN THE AIR THINGS 
IMPROVED FOR ABOUT 30MINS BEFORE GETTING BAD AGAIN AND SATCOM NEVER 
RECOVERED. WE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A PHONE PATCH THROUGHOUT THE FLIGHT 
BUT COULD NOT GET ANY RELAYS TO RESPOND TO OUR CALLS.

AFTER SEARCHING THE TASKED AREA, WE FOUND WINDS IN THE NORTH QUADS 
WITH THE NE QUAD SHOWING 30-35 KTS IN CONVECTION AND 20-25 OUTSIDE 
CONVECTION. NW QUAD REPORTED 20KTS. THE SOUTHERN QUADS NEVER SHOWED 
WESTERLY WINDS SUGGESTING AN OPEN WAVE. AT THAT POINT WE BEGAN TO RUN 
A ZIG ZAG PATTERN ALONG THE TROF AXIS TO VERIFY AND WERE RECALLED BY 
CARCAH. SYSTEM NEVER CLOSED.
