Hi Ted?
It appears that your solar panel arrangement is not optimal?
The first spot today at EL86 was at 14:06z? which if I did the math correctly was a solar angle of 43 degrees above the horizon.
Normally a flat solar panel will start working at 17 degrees of sun and your solar panel is weak in some way, taking much more sun to run the radio.
Not sure how you have the solar panel set up but it will still work.... but not transmit except when the sun is higher in the sky.
This requirement of high sun to run the radio will also restrict transmissions earlier in the evening.
Good luck on your flight.
