Just a comment. Note the eccentricity of 0.9658153 for both Longjiang 1 and 2 in this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution.
Definitely not a near circular orbit around the Earth. It is the largest eccentricity that I remember seeing.
No TLEs for Longjiang 1 and 2 next week!

Zach,
No, I don't have information on WebSDRs. They would have to use large antennas and good preamps.

It is confirmed from China that LongJiang 2 has performed a successful braking maneuver, so that it is now in lunar orbit. No further details yet.
Nico,
Do you know of any WebSDRs which are pointed and tuned to the downlink signals?
