Unfortunately: ARISSat-1 still silent (entire downlink BPSK/CW/Xponder/FM).
There were up to 13 people connected at the same time to the audio stream.

I was testing some grc/gnuradio code, and I'm sure I saw something on the waterfall bang where I was expecting CW-2 and the BPSK Beacon (and that was after a ton of my own filtering and re-sampling, so I'm pretty sure I got the code right on the first attempt for once, and I heard the bird)
Unfortunately I was so excited, I messed up the screen grab! Oh, well, on to the ~2300Z pass
Current code cannot decode tlm (was just checking doppler calculations, and offsets for the beacons were correct etc). Didn't see anything on the transponder or FM downlinks myself.
http://www.arissattlm.org/mobile indicated that she was in Low Power mode, but that telemetry had been received.

On my 2200EDT pass nothing heard from ARISSat-1 on the entire pass. Is it normal due to the rapid degrading batteries condition? or is it a normal safe mode?
