      For one thing, you have a lot less time on the birds. Totally worth it though... Congrats Drew!

AO-51 is back in to it's normal

configuration with the 145.920/435.300

repeater at 570 mw and the 1268.700/435.150 9k6 PBBS and

Telemetry at

450 mw.

For the month of January we expect to leave the satellite

in this

configuration. Sometime next week we expect to use the
...
reversible magnet

to reorient the spacecraft to the normal polarity favoring

the northern

hemisphere. This is dependent of the timing of some

personal issues

including the impending birth of my son :-) . Towards the

end of the

month I expect we can run some L/U voice on the 435.150

downlink between

telemetry collections, but that is not yet reflected on the

official

schedule.
