It appears I failed to correctly identify the pass times. Thanks to NJ1H for the alert.
Sadly, we'll be in bulletin mode by the correct pass times. So no luck today, but Ishmael promises to activate 8P on his return.

A student in this year's USTTI/ARRL Amateur Radio Administration course (Ishmael, 8P6PE) has asked to engage in a satellite QSO. We're going to take advantage of the passes we have that work with the W1AW guest operating hours. We will try FO-29 at 1845z and VO-52 soon after at 1850z. The passes have max. elevation at 10 and 11 degrees, but we should be able to see the birds from the top of the relevant tower.
Mode will be SSB, and while we can't promise to QSO with everyone, we welcome all who try.
Thanks and 73, Brennan Price, N4QX/1 Chief Technology Officer, ARRL
