activating an antenna not working on boot without connection

Hi, I have all the latest versions of RT, KOS, and KSP (downloaded all this yesterday or so).

I have commnet turned off in settings, so only the RT icons appear upper left. I have the connection manager for kos set to remotetech connection manager.

When I have connection, and use "antenna:DOEVENT("activate")." for example with a secondary closed antenna, it works fine, the antenna opens. Deactivating works too.

When I don't have a connection (due to having previously deactivated the antenna to hibernate and save power), reloading the ship and thus running the exact same activation code in my boot program does NOT activate the antenna for some reason.

The boot program is definitely successfully running in general, though, and doing tangible other things, without connection. It is printing out all its normal messages and it is even affecting the spaceship (orienting toward the sun for example). It's just that that antenna command in particular for some reason isn't doing anything anymore. Thus I can never regain control again of the craft.

The full block of code causing problems is:

FOR antenna IN SHIP:MODULESNAMED("ModuleRTAntenna") {
    IF antenna:HASEVENT("activate") {
        antenna:DOEVENT("activate").
    }
}
