Japan's JA0CAW just sent me an mp3 of his hearing ARISSat-1 ... and South Africa has heard it ...
Make sure your Keps are current! What AMSAT-NA is showing matches NASA's data precisely as of right now.

Great news!
Voice doesn't matter, but be certain to record the telemetry in WAV rather than MP3 format if you want to post process it.

All,
If you are able to make an audio recording of the signals from ARISSat-1, I would be very interested in obtaining a copy of your recording. I would be most interested in recordings of the CW and BPSK signals, but if are able to record the voice and SSTV signals I would be interested in those too.
If you can make an SDR recordings ( I and Q ) with a Funcube dongle, FlexRadio, or SDR-IQ, record at the highest rate that your hardware and software supports. If you are making a regular audio recording, set the sampling rate to the "highest quality." If you can choose sample sizes, for example between 8-bit and 16-bit samples, choose the largest size.
If you get any recordings with any of the signals from ARISSat, I would be very interested in obtaining a copy even if the recording is huge.
Save your recordings as .WAV files. Don't use MP3 format and don't convert the recordings into MP3 recordings. Leave the recordings as big huge .WAV files.
If your recording can be sent as an email attachment, please go ahead and send it to dquagliana (at) aol.com. If it's too big for email, then contact me and I will send you details on how to get it to me by other means.

Good signals over ZL on the 0422 18 deg pass. Two voice and one robot message on 145.950. No SSTV.
Fair to good telemetry on 145.920, 2 frames decoded.

Very low pass (about 7 degrees) for me at 0457 UTC. I heard the voice of a 'YL' saying the voltage, current, temperature etc.
Didn't have a chance to hook up my FCD and record the pass.
