No it wasn't an April fools day prank, I was on AO91 for a few minutes (before the footprint was too far north) and worked a few stations. It was to be a demonstration of amateur satellite communications for a Canadian Broadcasting Corp locally produced program. Thanks to all who were on.
As the antenna, radio, and log keeping were too much of a challenge outdoors (temperature was about -18C or 0F with a windchill around -27C) I used an old recorder for logging. For the most part it worked well, there is at least one call sign I'm having trouble picking out. I've had some help improving the quality, but if someone wanted a copy of the MP3 file to try their luck at getting more out of it I'll send them the file. Its just over 5 min long.
