Thanks, that info is much appreciated for us non-spacejunkies. :^)
The article gave a number of us the misimpression that Voyager 1 had gone silent after 1980.
Now I find that NASA’s own PR is much better and clearer than the article I poster:
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/voyager-1-fires-up-thrusters-after-37
Yeah, I was suckered in by the hyperbole and mythmaking of the headline and other bits in the article.
That’s why I did some surface digging.
