Hi Dave!
It was certainly on during that first 29-Mar 05:17-06:07 UTC window last night:

... and sounded pretty good. I did notice that it wasn't very tolerant of getting too far off freq (doppler) on the uplink and also needed a bit more elevation than some of the other FM satellites. So, be prepared for some drop-outs if you're not strong on the uplink. But, VE2HEW & I were able to chat normally during the highest part of the pass.
Other than the schedule you linked to, I don't know when or if it'll be on over the U.S. going forward.

The Diwata-2 FM satellite is apparently on, sometimes. Are they enabling it for just specific passes or single orbits at a time, or will it be usable from the USA? https://twitter.com/JA0CAW/status/1111496822004973568
More FM sats to use can't be a bad thing.
