The packet data downlink is presently operational at 145.870. It is extremely strong from AOS/LOS. When the amateur transponder is activated, A CW beacon will be at 145.870 in place of the packet data signal. It sends "HI HI DELFIC3 in CW." I recently emailed [email protected] asking when the satellite would be put back into the amateur mode. I have received no reply. It's the holidays at the university so I really do not expect an answer at this point in time so maybe after the new year. Unlike just after launch when transponder signals were strong, I have recently been having difficulty getting a signal through the transponder. I would like to experiment more so I'm waiting and hoping. All the best, Mike (K9QHO) AMSAT 33589
