I'm glad they raised the orbit, it's just that it's not enough for me (in the northeast US) to be in the radio footprint of the satellite. It was launched into equatorial orbit with a fair amount of inclination, but elevation angles from my location never exceed 11 degrees making reception difficult.
I was hoping to receive the satellite's Morse code beacon and/or telemetry stream [1]. BTW: Does anyone know the downlink frequency for the photos?
