Echo status 1/7

Frn AMSAT-NAs hemsida:

During the last pass on 30 June 2004, the TX power was turned up to 3.1 W to assure a good downlink while continuing to load software. Unfortunately, the power could not be reset to a lower level before the pass ended. The BCR responded as expected and eventually turned off the transmitter. The transmitter will be left off for the remainder of the night to allow the batteries to fully recharge. During the 02 July morning passes over the US East Coast the transmitter will be turned on to gather telemetry and evaluate the situation.

If you have recorded any telemetry data please send both the Raw and Engineering CSV files to ke4azn@amsat.org.
