COMPASS-1

Alan, ZL2BX: Two Compass passes this morning. The first one (15 deg) very hard to command so only 4 frames. The second (58 deg) did an interesting thing. I did an HK dump and excellent data until it stopped after about 400 frames for a beacon. However after the beacon finished it did not start up again. I waited for the next beacon to finish but still the FM Tx did not start again. I sent a 60 command and Compass immediately came to life again and finished the HK dump! Missed a few frames (39) towards the end as Compass was approaching LOS but otherwise a good dump.
