Hi again! I was on the last LituanicaSAT-1 pass starting around 0337 UTC. I heard three other stations during the pass - Nestor K6JTT in San Diego, Dave W0DHB in Colorado, and Glenn AA5PK in west Texas. We all worked each other. This was a higher pass for me here in DM43bn, with maximum elevation of 29 degrees. Late in this pass, I heard the CW ID and recorded voice.
I will send a separate report to LY5H including MP3 files with the audio from both passes I worked tonight. I hope the FM transponder can be activated again, while the satellite is still in orbit. This was fun! 73!
