[amsat-bb] COMPASS-1 recovery attempt 0940utc (17/8): failed

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.
