Skybox Imaging ready for SkySat launch
This article reports that SkySat-1 has started its journey to Dombarovsky near Yasny in the Russian Federation for a November 21 launch. SkySat-2 is currently slated for a launch from Baikonur in Kazakhstan on February 20.

Both of these launches will also carry a number of Amateur Radio satellites, some with linear transponders.
The Yasny launch should see the largest number of Amateur Radio satellites ever launched on a single rocket. I believe the total may be close to 20 (some of the satellites are themselves deploying other sats) so there should be plenty of signals to listen out for.
