Digipeater was working great. From my station in Maryland, I saw only one other station, myself and K3PDK. My passes over Maryland, (today,24 June) were at 0825, 1005 and 1145 EDT.

Since I am on a business trip till monday and can't do FD this year. My truck is setup for a IGATE for GO32 and ISS, since AO51 isn't on packet.
So you should be able to see yourself in findu or aprs.fi if my sgate hears you at all, via K3PDK-SG
It generally can hear down to around 20 degrees to the south, and around 40degrees to the north (just a 19.5" antenna with a strange reflection off the house siding)
Generally I only ever hear people on the ISS passes, and GO32 is normally completely dead, except for the beacons.

One other note. The D7 can be set to DCD-IGNORE so that it will TX as needed even though the downlink is solid data, but the D700 will not TX until the downlink drops. For FD this will be a problem since not only your's but everyone else's D700 TX's at that instant.
This is normally not a problem at all, since few people are using APRS on GO32 routinely at the same time. But for Field Day, it will be better to force your TX while the downlink is up, so that you won't collide with anyone else... To do this, simply QSY the downlink knob for a split second so your TX will get out. You have to tune the downlink for Doppler anyway...
