Thanks for the detailed update, Bob.

Tonight I was finally able to get into the DTMF decoder for the first time
after trying almost daily since that mode was enabled.  As the elevation
kept going up, I finally lucked into being heard at 33° elevation w/ 50w to
an AZ/EL tracking X-Quad antenna.  Both uplink & downlink frequencies on
the FT-857d were being doppler compensated throughout the pass.  A few
telemetry packets were decoded also.

Here is a tweet with a screen shot of the downlink packets received and a
URL to audio of the DTMF read-back:
