[amsat-bb] AO-27 possible failure

AO-27 sent data after the repeater mode expired on the 1835utc pass, 5 October. 50 seconds into the data, the "mark/space" toggling stopped and a "mark" only tone was heard. That tone was heard for 4-1/2 minutes until the signal was lost when the bird went over the horizon. A recording of the entire pass is on my website: http://www.papays.com/sat/general.html

AO-27 was not heard in EN91 on the scheduled 2015utc pass. I think my receiver is working fine but maybe it wasn't. Let's hope it can be recovered. An email was sent to N3UC and a message was left on his home phone.

Any reports from other locations? 73, John K8YSE
