Has anyone been successful in digipeating (or making QSOs) on the BIRDS-2 satellites yet? I don't think I've seen any positive reports here on QRZ.com, Twitter, or AMSAT-BB, although the BIRDS-2 team reported the digipeater has been active since 8/23.
I'm going to try the 1832Z pass in a couple of hours. Maya-1 should be in digipeating mode per the published Comm plan. Then will be on ISS at 1849Z.
