EO-88 shutting off
Last night after the AO-92 pass I got on EO-88 and it worked OK for a few minutes and then it shut off in the middle of the pass.I noticed that MacDoppler said the satellite was in darkness so maybe the batteries are low????? Perry WB8OTH

EO-88 transponder is only available in eclipse so as soon as the footprint hits Sun it flips off, not aware of any problems with the satellite.
