this is why we did not hear it....they had the 430mhz transmitter turned 
on... was anyone listening to the 70cm frequency? all the preparations 
on 2m and we were in the wrong place.

Afterwards, Dmitri performed hardware deactivation & close-out 
activities on the TEKh-43 Radioskaf-B “Kedr” test microsatellite in the 
MRM2 Poisk module which had been connected to an 825M3 Orlan battery and 
operated its 430 MHz transmitter yesterday.
