[amsat-bb] Fox -1B / AO-91 in trouble?

[Alan]

Hans,

Looks like if it IDs, the signal is normal and you get the usual 2 telemetry frames.  If the transponder has been brought up, you get the odd signal, with a brief switch to DUV at the end, but no telemetry.  The command staff have been notified.

73,

Alan
WA4SCA
