[amsat-bb] AO-85 Safe Mode

[Burns Fisher]

Just a note that this usually happens toward the end of the time when it is
out of the sun (in eclipse).   It should resume regular transponder mode
when it re-enters the sun.  There seems to be an odd bug which I have not
yet figured out such that under some circumstances it stays in safe model
and has to be commanded back on.
