SumbandilaSat SO-67 - return to service

South Africa AMSAT (SA-AMSAT) is slowly adding additional operational time for SumbandilaSat SO-67.

On their web page, they report that the ground control station will start slowly with the amateur radio payload and
observe if the satellite remains stable, and then gradually add more operating time.

The current SO-67 schedule for operations over South Africa and Europe can be found on their web page at:

The PTT of the transmitter now STAYS ON for the duration of the payload activation (i.e. 15 min), regardless of a valid "transponder" tone received. Please leave a 3 second gap between overs.
