FUNcube-1 Heard Loud and Clear in Los Angeles, CA
Just stepped out of work and listened with a few coworkers to the 10:37AM pass over Los Angeles,CA. My dashboard install worked nicely with SDR# and my RTLSDR (first time I've done this!). I don't have internet access at work on my personal computer so I'll try to upload the data later?
Also, I saved an IQ file and noticed there were several CW and digital stations just above in frequency to the telemetry signal which looks to me like the transponder was on and working! Maybe it was something else but there was obvious doppler shift with the signals.
Great job!

Notice that there was quite a bit of rearranging the element sets from the FUNcube launch on ClesTrak. Object 39417, 2013-066B, is tracking fairly close to the last element set from the AMSAT-UK web page and might be useful.
