HAMSAT (VO-52) to switch back to Indian amateur radio transponder

I have just received a message from the India Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that they will switch my amateur radio transponder off and switch over to the Indian ham radio transponder.

The switch over will be done at December 21 on 4:40 UTC time.

To know what transponder is switched on please listen for the beacon that is active. Each transponder has a different beacon, see below:

Indian transponder - unmodulated carrier on 145.936MHz.
Dutch Transponder - CW message on 145.860MHz.

Many thanks for all your reports, I hope you have enjoyed my transponder in space.
