Thanks Luc,
Similar here. On the 1240z pass we saw no othes. On the 1410z pass, we only saw two other stations, KB1GVR, and N4ZQ besides my two stations, WB4APR and W3ADO. But as I spent the next few minutes explaining to the students that it was working hours and probably few players, we heard more packets and noticed that PCSAT came into view. We saw the above plus VE3FFR, AK4KO and WA4AEJ. Sorry, we went to eat lunch and missed the 1550z pass.
We even logged onto PCSAT (it uses the default W3ADO-1 call sign) and configured it for full ops, and then to the end of the pass, it gave excellent signals.
Both ANDE and W3ADO (PCSAT) use the default path for the APRS satellites which is VIA ARISS. This is the same as that used on the ISS so that users do not have to switch UNPROTO settings between spacecraft.
We will try again on Thrusday during the 8AM to Noon EDT passes.

Tried again today, this time with 1 minute timing, but again no luck. It appears that the vertical isn't quite enough for this bird. Works great with a 13el beam of course, but that doesn't really help with this experiment.
I do see a whole page full of traffic via NO44 on Findu...
