We've heard from CAPE-3. We're having issues deciding thus far.

So far SatNOGS has observed CAPE-3, MiTEE, and EXOCUBE (CP-12): https://community.libre.space/t/virgin-orbit-launcherone-elana-20-2021-01-17...
A few of the other sats are on frequencies which there isn't any support for (e.g. PIC-A and PIC-B beaconing around 903.5 MHz.. right in a 3G band here in Australia!), so no observations have been made of those. There's also a sat on 434.031 MHz (CACTUS-1), which is right in the middle of the ISM band in many countries, making it very difficult to observe.

Ok, I'll be the first to ask:
Has anybody in AMSAT engineering heard from RadFXSat-2? AMSAT status
page and multiple SatNOGs observations have yet to show any downlink.
Besides just listening at the right time, is there anything the casual
operator can do to help out?
I've not seen a peep (or a tweet) out of AMSAT about Fox-1E.
NASA released this, publicly:

So one might conclude that they didn't get stuck in the P-pod. Has the CAPE-3 team (KF5BNL is on this list) heard from their satellite?
We're 24 hours in, so I would expect that at least one of those satellites would have been heard by now.
