JD-EE; 2:13:08 was ground station receipt time = 2:13:10 on handshake, and 2:13:45 is ground station receipt of next message = 2:13:41 on initiation. Known LOS equals 31 seconds. They were in low latitudes (3N) and a 50 degree bank when using the 6dB omni shouldn't have caused a drop-out. I believe the SAT was about 15 degrees east of them.
