I did not hear the beacon here in North America around 07:55 UTC. Perhaps the battery voltage dropped too low as it entered eclipse or the command stations only turned it on for a limited duration.

Hi Hans,
Actually I was. Had a QSO with VK3MQ during that 0700z pass. Normally here in VK we sit on 435.840 due to YB QRM on 435.850
We'll have to arrange a sked :)

Pity you weren't around an hour + half later. Had a good signal all to the south of me, well within WA. Haven't worked VK yet, so that would be a good one.
Glad this bird is back.
