There is also no S-Band signal in the data collected on days 358, 359, and 360; but those data were transmitted and have been processed. From these cases, it appears that the spacecraft S-Band transmitter is not being turned on for the observations over DSS 15.

Surface echoes are easily visible in all four channels. A strong interfering signal moves into the high side of the 100 kHz X-RCP passband at about 06:47. It approaches to within about 25 kHz of the carrier, then exits, again on the high side. An image of this interfering signal is present on the low frequency side of the carrier, crossing the path of the surface echo at about 06:46 (see related note in the HEA5357A.TXT report).
