With only a single operating FM satellite (FO-50), there is almost no chance to work it during Field Day. The best chance is provided by one of the three operational analog satellites: AO-7, FO-29 and AO-73. AO-7 is an ancient bird, of course and the batteries failed decades ago, so it is only usable when it is in full sunlight. For FN41 (Rhode Island) the following passes are usable (all times local, red text is optimal pass):
