Unfortunately, high speed data mode only runs for 15 minutes, then back to transponder mode. Europe and South America get the ends of Ascending and Descending passes where we enable it, but JA is just too far from a command station. Sorry!

All,
This morning and yesterday morning I switched AO-85 into high-speed data mode over the SE USA. This was necessary for some testing of ground station components prior to the launch of Fox-1Cliff and -1D coming up. I apologize for any interruption in doing so. I hope everyone had their telemetry program on "auto" and caught a few high speed
frames!
Any chance of leaving it in high-speed mode for a full orbit sometime in the future so us non-Unitedstatesians can have a crack at those decodes? :)
