Nitin, VU3TYG:
Hi Mike, Sion, heard the beacon on 0530 UTC pass but could not get the beep after sending the DTMF. Also did not see the decode in your software which I has downloaded. Attached is the wav file.

Hi Mike and Bob, all commands sent and acknowledged at 2023 UT this morning.

All commands sent and acknowledged at 2158 UT.
Shortly before LOS I heard the “data bursts” that Bob mentioned. I may have heard them before but would have treated them as interference. Attached is the WAVE file.
No beacon or data this time. Alan, ZL2BX
