Interesting that this seems to only happen on ascending passes. This
problem has not been reported on descending passes.
Hopefully this is just a symptom of sun angles on the solar panels at the
present point in it's orbit and when panel illumination improves, it will
become more reliable.
Of course, any orbit with the transponder functioning is and has been a
bonus for the last 12 years.
