Consider the antenna a 10 dB attenuator, not a no antenna. View that way,
you are just more likely to be using more EIRP than was intended for the
spacecraft to overcome it. Thank goodness for the capture cone on the
bottom of the antenna which protected your favorite 10 dB pad!

John,
Good to know. Did you notice many dropouts? I know the spin rate was
dropping, but haven't seen any hard figures in several weeks.
