FUNcube-1 Transponder test Saturday

There will be a test on the 435/145 MHz linear transponder this
Saturday March 22

When in sunlight FUNcube-1 is normally in “Educational Mode”
(transponder off with high power beacon) but on Saturday, March 22,
2014 at approximately 0930 UT the FUNcube team are planning to switch
to “Amateur Mode” (transponder on with low power beacon) for at least
one whole orbit.

The aim of the switch on March 22 is to check the effect on the
satellite of continuous “Amateur Mode”, especially battery
temperature.
