yep, looks like only 10 satnogs stations has it above the horizon and less than half of those getting it at more than 10deg above horizon.

This seems to have received a pretty good signal but only the LO/ppm is way of.

the one at +10kHz ? that follows terrestrial pattern and is also much too wide.
