Yes, late afternoon Sunday here (11UTC) same thing. 7J1ADJ/JR6 and I wanted to try an SSB QSO, but the beacon, telemetry and our own signals would disappear after a second or two. Here is my tweet with screenshot...... https://twitter.com/BX2ABT/status/1135117033144586240
Looks similar to the output of XW-2E: http://bx2abt.com/main/data/_uploaded/image/20180715_1747-baffled.png

Yes, noticed same issue on 6/1/19 1306UTC pass. my downlink was intermittent. no other stations were one the pass, but my own transmissions would cutoff after a few words. The following pass (1333UTC) on XW-2C had no issues so I concluded it was not my station. 73 Christy KB6LTY

When it got over the trees here in FM29 I heard nothing for the remainder of the pass. All other XW-2 birds with me in the footprint this morning were fine. It appears XW-2D is experiencing a problem?
