As I'm sure others have at their locations, I have continued to monitor
passes here on the U.S. East Coast.

As recently as this morning our time (1640 utc) I watched the entire RF
span from where the GMSK telemetry & CW beacons should be up through the
linear transponder downlink with nothing heard.  I also try the 70cm linear
transponder uplink on each pass just in case.

Hoping to walk in one day & see favorable reports from someone around the
world!
