Hello:
I read the status page and the news page and it has me a bit confused. At some point the AO-51 was working for me (as of last week). But the last three passes I have heard nothing.
Is the DL still 435.150Mhz?
I just want to confirm either a) I am looking at the wrong status page or b) AO-51 is down for now.

Hello Alexander,
Please check the AO-51 page and you'll see why you sometimes find it will be active, and other times it will be off.

I do (did), but that page is not very helpful regarding an individual pass?
"The uplink is 145.880, and the downlink is 435.150. We are working on trying to automate this."
So I am on 435.150 but the last couple of passes have been silent over FN20. Can others confirm?

Well, for pass by pass reports, we have always recommended this:
The information at that site is only as good as we the users make it. You can help by reporting whether you heard it or not.
These days, AO-51 is likely to be OFF far more than it will be ON.
