All,

    Tonight’s contact was very successful. I was able to achieve 160k with an Eb/No of 2.12 – 3.92. A very sweet spot in the antenna pattern @29re ascending. I was able to dump 26606 blocks with 3301 remaining to be dumped on the next perigee contact. The read pointer is at 48648 hi bit (114184). Also, the 18 day timer was reset to zero.
