Hi Fabiano,
I am not directly involved with the operations this weekend, but I understand that the VKI command station was planning to enable the transponder on this last pass so if you are not hearing it then maybe they have some technical problems.
Thanks for your understanding

Hi All,
The AMSAT-NL transponder on EO-79 will be activated to support the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend (ILLW).
We apologize for the short notice, this opportunity came along very last minute, and again we took it.
QB50p1 (EO-79) carries the FUNcube-3 400 mW inverting linear 435/145 MHz transponder provided by AMSAT-NL with support from AMSAT-UK.
- *Uplink:* 435.035-435.065 MHz LSB
- *Downlink:* 145.935-145.965 MHz USB
TLEs are NORAD # 40025, COSPAR designator 2014-033-R
Remember that the FUNcube family of transponders do not need much power to work them.
I will be operating at Scheveningen Lighthouse PA25SCH, NL0025
Thanks to the Von Karman Institute and Innovative Solution In Space for the opportunity to use the transponder.
Have FUN over the weekend!
Wouter PA3WEG
