435.150 is back on at 270mw with 9k6 telemetry. V/S is also working now. I'm still interested in reports on S now vs before the magnet reversal.

AO-51 is currently in Mode V/S on 145.88/2401.200. With our attitude inverted from normal, I'm interested in any S band reports. The L/S antenna should be pointed towards the ground now in the southern hemisphere, and away in the northern. The schedule indicates we would concurrently run the 9k6 telemetry downlink on 435.150. Due to low battery voltages and being near the bottom of the output power selection range, I shut off the 435.150 transmitter this morning at about 1025 UTC.
Please send any reports on the Mode S signal to ko4ma@amsat.org. or ao51-modes@amsat.org.
