18:25-18:30 FE-6 HAM Radio Deactivation

Was just reading the timeline for the crew today, and saw this

18:25-18:30 FE-6 HAM Radio Deactivation

But never any activation, im new at this but can someone explain, are they just turning it off as to not interfere with other equipment for experiments or are they replacing the radio in the next resupply ?

Check in 2 days

The radio is being turned off in preparation for the Soyuz undocking that occurs the next day. The radio is scheduled to be turned back on when the crew wakes up after the undock.
