In the early days it was on for 24 hours after the Mon, Wed, and Fri turn on. I worked it in the morning after the "turn on". I need to look at my log but I am fairly sure that did happen. Rick

I heard no downlink during the pass here in DO33 which started just before 0200 UTC. There's another pass coming up in less than 2 hours from now and I might try that, weather permitting.
