8:29 a.m.
I acquired the FM downlink signal at 0600 UTC and heard part of the diagnostic message and the ID. The signal initially wasn't clear but it improved by 0602 with little noise, strength of at least S8, and no fading.
At 0602, the following was transmitted after the ID and greeting:
MET = 65 minutes IHU temp. = +41 deg. C Control panel temp. = +56 deg. C Battery voltage = ??
The transmission appeared to stop at that point and nothing further was heard.
