Did anyone in New England (or other locations in the same general area) receive ARISsat-1's VHF test messages on the ~0230EDT (0630Z) pass? I got nothing at all using an HT connected to a 2M eggbeater. I usually receive the ISS fine with this, but nothing at all from ARISsat-1. Of course I know it was operating generally since there were lots of reception reports. However, I did not happen to see any around that time/location. It was not the highest pass, but I could not stay up any later!
Hoping for better luck in a few days at high power.
Thanks,
