Update from @OpenResearchIns and #AMSAT_UK about #FUNcube

(good news!)

On the weekly #FUNcube call:
"I have managed to un-dog my CPLD."

If you'd listen to the call without any context, you'd think we're all mad.

From AMSAT-UK on the other site...

#AO73 / #FUNcube 1 has been switched from autonomous mode to continuous transponder mode for the holiday period. This means that the transponder is available for use 24/7.

Anticipated to revert to autonomous mode sometime after January 5, 2025 #amsat #hamradio #hamr

Today 6 years ago, #JY1Sat (JO-97) launched into space.
Built by students in Jordan in cooperation with ISISPACE and the AMSAT-UK/NL #FUNcube team.

Happy birthday, JY1Sat! 🥳🎂

This 1U #CubeSat is still working, providing a linear #transponder which enables radio amateurs to communicate🛰️📡. #hamradio

Happy 11th birthday🎂 to the #FUNcube-1 (AO-73) satellite🛰️
It's still performing well after all these years. We'll have a little celebration with the team tonight.

THANK YOU to our #hamradio ground network📡, keep that data coming!

Filing some government paperwork for #FUNcube-1 / AO-73 operations, and I am extra proud of the "no anomalies to report since the last audit".

It's not the expected outcome for a satellite operator audit, as most satellites have some form of anomaly during operations. #cubesat
