XW-2C Appears to be Failing
Based on others' reports and my observations this morning, 2C has a bad problem. I could see the passband popping on for about 1/2 second and then going quiet for maybe 15 seconds, repeatedly. When it was on, it was rx'ing and transmitting properly.
I timed one of my voice transmissions to coincide with the "poppiing on" for 1/2 second and hear my voice quite clearly.
This was at about 11:40z this morning.

Sound like the same failure as XW-2D.

These are such good satellites, sad to see them failing.
