WW2DX just tweeted that the CY9C satellite station is still set up and they are still working passes. I do not know if they will be on all passes, but listen for them on any pass you have a footprint if you have not yet worked them.
If I get any word about specific passes, I will let the BB know.

So, each band/mode counts for HF - does each satellite/mode count for something here, too? Or work 'em once on whatever mode one whatever satellite, you got 'em in the log and that's it?

Not really, though some of us nerds do like to keep stats for each satellite!
Since I don't want to step on anyone, I only worked them once on FO-29 and once on AO-85. I also made sure to get the AMSAT club call, W3ZM, a QSO with them.
There are still a few sat ops out there that haven't had a chance to work them yet, so I hope everyone who wants to can get them in the log tonight.

It matters not what satellite you work someone on or what mode. The ARRL and AMSAT count a satellite contact per DXCC entity, State, VE Call area or Grid Square, etc, not which satellite or mode you used to make the contact. A contact on 5 satellites using CW, Phone, DStar, Packet, APRS, all count the same.... a satellite contact.

Thanks Bruce, actually glad to hear that since I just worked them once on satellite. But I got to thinking when I looked at the HF stats... :-)
