[amsat-bb] AO-85

[Rick Tejera]

You can run a report in WINListen. It will show a "E" Between the day and
time when the bird is in eclipse. I also seem to remember, but not seeing it
now, that the sat name turns red when eclipse in SATPc32. Am I recalling
that correctly? If so where is that setting?

AO-85 is back in transponder mode and open for use with a few conditions.
Please do not use the satellite while in eclipse. If the footprint of the
satellite does not touch any part of the ground that is in daylight, the
satellite is in eclipse. This will give us a little extra battery life, and
extend the satellite's usable life. Please also do not "kerchunk" the
satellite while in eclipse. I know this has been done to increase the number
of telemetry packets received, but it is no longer acceptable. Thank you for
your understanding and cooperation.
