At the 21:57 UTC U.S. pass of AO-85 tonight October 23 we will conduct a test with the transponder. Please do not uplink during that pass over the U.S. We encourage you to copy telemetry with FoxTelem during this pass and have it sent to the server, to aid in analyzing the test results. Thanks!

For the benefit of those of us outside of the United States, is this test only going on when over North America, going back to safe mode otherwise? Just wanted to know whether it was worth setting up to monitor when it passes over Asia.
