Watching the Hamburg satellite capture again on my VCR with the tracking cranked all the way up.

Right at 02:14 in 'Memory Hatch', she stops singing completely and just stares directly into camera 2.
If you look at the lower third timecode on the broadcast feed, the studio audio meter doesn't drop to zero -- the 14.2 Hz sub-tone stays active.

Did anyone in Hamburg actually attend in person? The hall looked completely empty except for camera crews.

Notice the date: June 8, 1985. That was exactly 14 months before the Meridian microwave link tests began at Ashford Poly.
