I was hoping to do early morning QSO on AO-85 just now. I didn't hear any other QSOs, but I did hear the Fox voice say "Safe mode" a couple of times. I'm aware that the bird has been having battery issues lately. I did not attempt a call.
Just what is "Safe Mode"? Is it OK to make a call when the bird is in safe mode?
There is another pass this afternoon when AO-85 will be in full sun. Will it be in transponder mode then?
I know these are basic questions, but I appreciate the help.
