Nope, It was only announced on the HearSat mailing list and only few enthusiastics replied. On this world of new space probes with S band downlinks very few are interested in monitoring old birds which comes back to live spontaneously.
However the happiness and enjoy I felt after re-discover that old historical spacecraft is beyond compare.... It is like space archeology.... An U.S. ham re-discovered LES-1 several months ago and some media wrote a news report, but the original owner/builder of the satellite didn't reply to his e-mail....
About Allouette-2, the interesting was the international collaboration, Cuba and Australia are almost in opposites part of the world, but Mike Kenny and I still exchange information and collaboreted for confirm the re-discovery, and that my friend is the true ham spirit....

That's interesting because there was no mention of it in the news here.
