It will be interesting to see if it stops working tomorrow as it begins to heat up as it begins to drag in the atmosphere. Speaking of which right now, BY70-1 is coming up in a few minutes and I intend to work this pass and next pass of it tonight. Work it while you can I guess!

Just had a 12° pass for me here on the East Coast which put BY70-1 well out over the ocean. No telemetry received and only heard one very faint caller on the FM transponder once it got well over New England or perhaps into Canada.
Suspect there will be a lot more activity on the next pass which cuts right through the center of the U.S.
