Hi All,
just to be a little more clear on this...
transponder definition...
Transponder - Electronic package aboard a telecommunications satellite that 1)
receives transmissions from earth (uplink); 2) changes signal frequency; 3)
amplifies the signal; and, 4) transmits the signal to earth (downlink).
the Transmitter is on, the beacon is running,but...
the TRANSPONDER for U/S or L/S is OFF...
but per Staceys note... couple weeks maybe it will be back on
73
