Is there any update on keps for Delfi-C3? Uploading the launch keps gave me questionable results with NOVA. Nothing heard here but not sure that I listened at the correct time.
I will try again at 8:16utc pass for Cute-1.7 (keps per Hiroki Ashida), but will it be out of eclipse? We are in local night-time here in BP40IQ since 5:52utc. According to NOVA the sun terminator will be crossed by Cute-1.7 at 8:24utc northbound. I am heading to bed so hope to wake in an hour to observe on 144.870. I have not installed the telemetry sw so am only hoping to detect a signal.

Well, I went to a hilltop at the appointed time, but try as I might, I heard nothing.
Was Delfi-C3 really out of eclipse at 0455 - 0510 UTC?
