AO-51 is indeed back to resetting each orbit. Keep an eye on http://oscar.dcarr.org/ to see the current status. I'm going to work on finding a power setting that might let us get through eclipses without crashing. It would be very helpful to have plenty of reports on that page to keep tabs on the bird. If I need to restart it, I either need to be up very early, or make time and set an alarm to do it during the time I'm normally at my real job.

Seems like it. Not heard over VK/ZL or JA either. Only over North America (I guess when they restart the software from there). Still prefer AO-7 anyways :) I hope that grand ole lady goes another 40 years.
