The AO-85 Transponder is open for general use again, October 23 until further notice.
Please watch the AMSAT news outlets (web, Twitter, Facebook, -bb) for updates on testing and schedule October 26 – 30. We will likely do some more testing during the week.

At the 21:57 UTC U.S. pass of AO-85 tonight October 23 we will conduct a test with the transponder. Please do not uplink during that pass over the U.S. We encourage you to copy telemetry with FoxTelem during this pass and have it sent to the server, to aid in analyzing the test results. Thanks!
