Hi, AO-85 COR mode was working fine in its last pass over Europe (about 15:52 UTC). Plenty of stations where using the transponder and it seems that most sounded quite good without the DUV telemetry. Hitting the transponder with my handheld arrow and 5W didn't seem more difficult than usual, perhaps even a bit easier. 73, Dani M0HXM/EA4GPZ.
