This is pretty significant. Every time I've tried to activate the RTTY system, all I would get is a solid carrier then the bird has reset indicating a lack of power. I wonder what might have changed?

Greetings,
I only recorded 1-minute of the RTTY from last evenings pass but was able to decode channel 11 through 16 from it to augment David's (VK5DG) decodes. Here is what I was able to decode using reverse,45,85 parameters. I also used the 1974 AMSAT J. final parameters and equations conversions. Great job to David for finding the 70-cm beacon on and decoding so much!
