It looks like they did not make the scheduled switch to digital mode.  I
noticed on Monday that it was still in analog, but have not been on the air
since then (being a pyrotechnician, I get a rather busy around the 4th of
July!)  If you are hearing SSB or CW traffic, the bird is definitely
operating analog, so go for it.
