So nobody has heard it emit 24 GHz. Got it. That's all I was asking.
I wasn't asking either UW or AMSAT for privileged information, nor do I
expect any. My interest was purely technical curiosity, as one would
expect from a member of our hobby.
Much like any other (non-intelligence-organization) object in orbit, we
are not prohibited from listening to any RF emitted by the satellite,
even if we don't understand the content.
