Later in that pass I did notice that the carrier dropped after no activity.

Good morning,
I just worked a pass of LilacSat-2 from here in Washington, DC. The downlink signal was good and I was able to work KO4MA with 5 watts, though the constant carrier and audio filtering made it tough to know when I was getting in to the satellite. I had to listen very carefully to hear my own voice coming back from my headphones. There was terrestrial interference, but I was able to get in below 6 degrees and heard the satellite all the way down to below a degree.
Equipment used was two Yaesu FT-817s, an Arrow antenna, and a High Sierra Microwave LNAA432 preamp.
73,
