The second letter were for the antenna being open or not. May be there is no signal regarding that information anymore and it thinks that they are NOT open. So please double check the CW beacon.

I can count a noise dip every 6.6 sec -> that means 9.1 dips/min. According to the dipole characteristics I would say that ITUpSat is spinning with 4.5 rpm. Last time I did this measurement was in August with 4.7 rpm. So ITUpSat-1 is getting slower…
