Hi Bruce,
tks for info. I was also wondering about it, as the JARL did not publish any new schedule for FO-29 after August, 27. As you correctly pointed-out, FO-29 is being activated only during early passes, so its very-very interesting your report @15:19 Z !!!
However, the question remains:
FO-29 was QRV after eclipse "by self" ? If yes, that is a GREAT News.
Looking forward for JARL's answer.

I mis-titled the parent email, indicating that the telem was collected at 15:19Z. It was, in fact, 05:15Z; and in my experience it is only these early passes during which FO-29 is being activated by the control team.
I hope that by collecting this telemetry, I can help that team make an informed decision about allowing the bird to be activated at other times, especially the passes which better suit the daily schedule of eastern NA and Europe.
