Third SATCOM handshake. Hourly keep-alive continues.

Handshake 3 at 20:41:02 UTC is another ground-initiated keep-alive. BTO places the aircraft on a range ring from the I-3 satellite; BFO continues to favour a southbound velocity component. No payload ACARS or cockpit voice is attached to these signalling units.
