As many on this list are amateur radio operators the following might be of interest:

The project asks amateurs to monitor transmissions from cell phones that have
been placed in orbit.

>From the homepage:

"PhoneSat satellites are emitting packets on the amateur radio spectrum to
report different types of message. The details of these packets can be found on
the packets page. If you are an amateur radio operator and you can receive these
packets, you have the great opportunity to contribute to the project by
submitting them. The dashboard page will give you all the information you need
to track the satellites in real time."
