Good evening,
I can report that FUNcube-1 was switched back to autonomous mode at around 21:19 UTC this evening.
A reminder for next weekend – As AMSAT-UK is holding their Collloquium event in Guildford Surrey, it is expected that FUNcube-1 will be switched to continuous transponder mode , exceptionally, from Thursday evening (July 23rd) until either Sunday evening (July 26th) or, more likely, Monday evening (July 27th).
This will enable the Colloquium attendees to view or demonstrate and enjoy the transponder operations for the maximum possible time. Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Folks,
I have just switched FUNcube-1 to full time transponder mode at approx 2025 UTC.
Apologies that this was not done earlier - due to Ground Station availability.
As usual, we will aim to switch back to 'auto' mode on Sunday evening (UTC).
Enjoy and have FUN!

On the other hand I was able to download over 90 telemetry packets on a single FunCube-1 pass over the midwestern USA this morning. So, no problem here!
