Is AO-51 still having computer problems and is it operational or am I having receiver problems? I was unable to access it on the 2153 UTC pass directly overhead.
AO51's computer crashed around 0700-0800z on the 26th. It is in the process of being reloaded right now.

Hi Mike,
What downlink were you using? I recall seeing that for this week AO-51 is in mode V/S and not the previous V/U. So if you're listening to the normal UHF downlink this week, won't hear it because it's not transmitting there.

On the last pass I could hear my downlink on 145.300. I only caught the last part of the pass. I had wanted to try V/S but did not have the time to do it. I t looks like AO51 is up since I heard my downlink on 435.3
