It was the scheduled mode change. There were a number of commands that needed to be done for this change, so I took the pass with the higher elevation at my QTH in east TN.
AO-51 is now in L/S and V/U 145.88/435.150 dual repeater mode.

I do hope that I just pressed a wrong button but I was listening to the downlink on AO-51 during the 23:31/41 utc pass and halfway through the pass (I copied P9HA, YY6IEA and W6NVE) I lost the downlink compeletly and I just had the normal static - was this my error or has the software taken a dump again?
