[amsat-bb] FUNcube-1 Mode change

[Graham Shirville]

Hi All,

Just to report that FUNcube-1 was switched back to autonomous mode around 20:25 UTC this evening.

We have received a request to provide an extended  period of continuous amateur mode this coming weekend from Friday morning 15th May until Sunday evening 17th May. This will support AMSAT transponder operations during the whole of the Dayton Hamvention event.

Unless we hear that this change will interfere with any planned schools activities during Friday 15th we will arrange for the transponder to switch on during the first suitable pass over EU on Friday morning.
