AO51 still appeared to be down during the 1922z pass. I only monitored half of the pass, but I never heard a carrier.

Hello All,
We are receiving reports that AO-51 appears to be down. Hopefully one of us can get it going again this afternoon/evening.
Eclipses are still getting longer, and the sun angle is getting worse, too. It probably has experienced a low battery trip (least we hope it's that simple...)
Please watch and post on http://oscar.dcarr.org/
