[ACARS] The "[" in the massage

[Mark Davies]

Hi Guys

This mode was also very frequent in Australia yesterday as well as most of
today.

Interesting to note that the uplink is { and the downlink is [

Also the Melbourne squitter was noted as {

Mode M which is the normal mode for Melbourne was a lot less noticeable but
there appear to be about the same transmissions from mode 2

Any theories as to what the change of mode means, system fault perhaps?
