Hello all,
Has anybody in the US successful copied Delfi-C3/DO-64 in the last month? Since the satellite was configured into its current science mode with infrequent packets (nearly a month ago), I haven't been able to copy it. Just trying to determine if it's bad luck or what.
Thanks for your reports.

I copied about two hundred packets during a morning pass about a week or two ago.

Hi Mark,
Just for interest, in science mode DO-64 is not often on over ZL but every now and then it comes down this way transmitting. Last time was 26 Feb at 2022 UT.

Mark,
I have copied a few hundred blocks of data since they switched modes, but usually it is off, so I haven't been trying lately. The two times I did copy something, it has just made a pass over the Netherlands. I am _guessing_ they either did not switch it off after a TLM run, or it had not yet timed out, whichever method they use.
