I saw the same thing and swept thru S band but didn't hear anything. Guess I 
need to verify my gear. I can't help but wonder if we didn't see a telemetry 
glitch. I didn't think they'd have much time to check out other xmtrs right 
now....... Anyway, can't wait to hear S band from AO-40! I work 2304 
terrestrially and it's neat!
