Technician Notes:
Pre-flight: drained radome lines.
Turn phone on at 14:40 UTC.
Water in QCR.
Power-up the phone twice 1hr 40min into flight. After that, Iridium worked fine.
QCR did not track QCF for most of flight.
Ran some tests on the way back: 20° turns and voice calls but could not affect Iridium.
