Hi Bruce,
You should be able to get plenty of telemetry. There is very little time that there is not data flowing from the satellite, a matter of a couple of seconds at most. The U digital downlink has not changed. Because of the selected callsign for BB files, you won't see telemetry in the WiSP window. You can use the TlmEcho program (or others, and a soon to be announced sound card demodulator and new AO-51 telemetry display program) to see the telemetry.
I know of 5 stations that have had good success this week using the L-Band upliink to talk to the BB.
Good Luck and keep trying, Gould, WA4SXM AO-51 Command Station

Interesting, could not get any tlmecho data on D/L or could not connect to BBS server on U/L. No call signs in Wisp window. Voice was active on 435.300 D/L
