ARRISat-1 was mainly in eclipse over North America since the launch but starting August 15 the first orbits over NA will be out of eclipse and if the batteries can hold and the inside temp does not cooked the electronics we will have a chance to listen and work it at a more suitable time slot instead having to set the alarm clock in the middle of the night...Plus we will have the high power.
We all hope for the best but as projected we already exceed the +- 8 days life expectancy lets say we lived on borrowed time.
