I just worked the 16:43 pass ( only 8 degrees elevation ) and was able to successfully upload all four commands twice with confirmation both times.
Keep the faith, baby!

Hi all,
Just for interest, AO-07 switched from mode A to mode B at 2050 UT today. (Cut me off in the middle of calling CQ on mode A so I went to mode B and worked VK2MAL and VK2AYE who had just heard it come up.)

Hi again Mike,
In my rush to get the beacon info off to you I left out another interesting bit of info. Prior to the normal telemetry frame I received the following: 00DP0COM-COMPASS-1-012345-COMPASS-1 This was 38 seconds after I sent the beacon test command.

Hi Mike,
All commands sent at 2202 UT. All accepted. No immediate response from beacon but beacon came on just before LOS and managed to capture a full frame. Data decoded OK as follows:
19.08.2008 22:18UTC FF140000180100200000900005 --------------------------------------------------- Solar Cell Voltage 5.00 V Solar Panel 6 Cur 125.49 mA Solar Panel 2 Cur 6.27 mA Solar Panel 3 Cur 150.59 mA Solar Panel 4 Cur 0.00 mA Solar Panel 5 Cur 0.00 mA EPS Reset Counter 0 Power Level Critical Battery Capacity Heater Active Battery Heater OFF Power Safe Counter 0 Emergency Mode Counter 0 Battery Voltage 2.82 V Battery Current 0.00 mA Battery Temperature 5 °C
