On the 18:10 UTC FO-29 pass, C6AGZ was around 435.863 MHz (freq. at satellite.) As he drifted more toward the center during the pass, stronger stations than him somewhat overcame his QRP signal.
I recorded the pass in SDR. Unfortunately a few stations on CW showed up running entirely too much power and most other signals on the transponder's pass band got much, much weaker. It's like someone flipped a switch.

Yes he was. I wasn't on myself, but I saw some tweets of people working him.
Unfortunately, I also saw that some lids were hammering the transponder with high powered CW, making it difficult for someone with just five watts to get in.
He plans to be on the next AO-7 pass, though if the high power CW lids are still around, then it'll probably jump to Mode A before you're in the footprint.
