A good suggestion after you can hear the radio on the ridgeline...Roger WA1KAT

I hope a ham close to Cornell can at least confirm their ground station
is
not the issue and quickly get that out of the equation by monitoring a couple of passes of our existing LEO's. And, in the process give them
some
training on the use of the equipment.
Hello Nate et al....
As I read through your website I see that you are responsible for the ground station. If so, then performing your "ridgeline" tests should be followed by attempts to track already existing satellites that utilize frequencies close to your downlink.
After you have "found" your "ridge" transmitter, and gotten a feeling as to the sensitivity of your ground receiver, if it seems close to reasonable, let us know and we will provide help finding existing orbiting targets you can test your system with.
It sounds like the satellite antenna is out of your control at this time...
