Hi all, It may not be significant as I note from Roland that it was OK, however over here in Wales ( UK ) the pass today ( Thursday 29th Dec. at 1345 hrs) it did not sound as healthy on the downlink as I normally receive the satellite. Did hear my downlink much weaker and also heard 2E0SQL also calling CQ - Peter also heard you yesterday you were much stronger but did not get back to you as my antenna was doing a 180 degree turn. Will monitor the next pass and try to get an update on the status. Ken Eaton GW1FKY

By the way, I note thankfully that all went well for the commercial launch of the Soyuz ( Fregat )and its payload on Wednesday 28th December.
