Commanding went well, from as far as we could make out. We're not sure if we're getting anything back, however.
We'll be doing this pass today, hopefully:

Hi Roger
I wasn't able to see any signal from Prospero yesterday. How did the commanding go?

We had a problem with our end and couldn't command during this pass. If you'd have heard something, I'd have been surprised.
We did manage to command during the later pass at around 1850 BST, though it was a low pass and we're not sure if we picked anything up.

There was a brief item about Prospero near the end of the latest Space Boffins podcast:

It mentions the involvement of hams in this project.
