All,
We are aware of the current situation. Myself and Mani, VU2WMY tried listening to the beacon and work thru the satellite during the 04:05 UTC pass over India ( 6 degree elevation) on Feb 29th but nothing was heard. I will post further updates when I hear from ISRO on the current status and next steps.
Please submit your reports at www.oscar.dcarr.org or drop me a email.

Please listen for VO-52 and submit reports to the oscar.dcarr.org website.
