We’re now able to release a timeline of events for LightSail’s first day in space.
The chart on LightSail mission Page assumes a liftoff of 10:45 a.m. EDT, (14:45 UTC) at the start of the four-hour launch period. The actual window has not yet been released.
We aren't sure when we'll hear from LightSail, but the first possible opportunity comes three hours, 14 minutes after liftoff (17:40 UTC).
If you’re a member of the amateur radio community, YOU CAN HELP ! Our radio frequency is 437.435 MHz. Email me any data you collect from LightSail, including screenshots of the radio signal if you have them. I'll pass the information on to our engineering team, and we'll recognize your contribution on our blog.
LightSail's automated telemetry chirps start after antenna deployment and continue throughout the mission. We’ll update our Mission Control Center to show the spacecraft’s current position, including pass predictions for your device’s current location (courtesy of N2YO.com).

Hi Greg,
Is the telemetry decoding software or code available for us to see/decode the data and monitor the satellite? That would greatly help in getting amateur radio operator support worldwide.
Good luck and 73,
Stefan, VE4NSA

Hi Stefan,
greg, w9gb ... send queries to jason davis or follow him on Twitter.
Have you also sent the query to Jason, and if he responded, can you let us know the outcome? I do not have twitter, and have not found any E-mail address in the post.
