All,
COMPASS should have been in sunlight this morning (0940utc) over Europe.
Encouraged by the positive results from ZL, I was hoping to be able to upload the commands into the satellite.
However, none of my commands was answered by a 'beep' from COMPASS.

All,
During the entire pass (max 72 degrees elevation) I have submitted the commands (mostly only the first one, a few times all four of them shortly after eachother).
However, I have not heared a single tone on the downlink so we must assume this attempt failed.
