What notes are you working from???
The "formal" activation begins 7:30AM PDT Monday, April 11 ... Do you have a test schedule you're working from???
We're gearing up for five passes here in Southern CA for the event!
Here are the five passes I show that are monitor-able for us in Southern California during the Yuri Gagarin celebration activation of ARISSat-1 ...

Times are ...
11:06PM PDT 04/11 05:32AM PDT 04/12 07:07AM PDT 04/12 09:56PM PDT 04/12 11:32PM PDT 04/12
PLUS OR MINUS UP TO TWO MINUTES. And while monitoring 145.950, there will be two-minute "gaps" between 40-60 seconds of pre-recorded transmissions - so KNOW where the ISS will be in the sky, and KEEP MONITORING for the entire pass!

Thought maybe you knew of an informal testing period ...
SEE? I gave you the benefit of the vast knowledge you possess ...
With ARISSat-1 in low power mode, I just hope folks won;t "give up" when they don't immediately hear it when they KNOW it's above them.
SPECIAL ADDED EXCITEMENT - Our second pass (5:32AM PDT 04/12) just might be VISIBLE for a few minutes here in Southern CA!!!!!

According to my elements, the next orbit will graze the western horizon here in San Diego starting about 8:1I'm seeing one horizon-grazing pass to the west this morning 4/11 starting around 8:18AM PDT. Maximum elevation is only about 6 degrees so I'm not expecting much.
