Thanks for the detailed update, Bob.
Tonight I was finally able to get into the DTMF decoder for the first time
after trying almost daily since that mode was enabled. As the elevation
kept going up, I finally lucked into being heard at 33? elevation w/ 50w to
an AZ/EL tracking X-Quad antenna. Both uplink & downlink frequencies on
the FT-857d were being doppler compensated throughout the pass. A few
telemetry packets were decoded also.
Here is a tweet with a screen shot of the downlink packets received and a
URL to audio of the DTMF read-back:

The best way to register is to call the hotel directly. If you still have
problems, ask for Maria, the Sales Manager

Thanks Frank. Several had replied that info to me off list. And I also
remembered 5 minutes after I posted. I was hoping not to have to reply here

I just finished booking my symposium room using the online chat function
with a Hilton customer service rep.
The AMSAT rate is only good through Saturday night. If you plan to stay
Sunday night, you'll have to book that night
separately (at a much higher rate).
The CS rep said the AMSAT block of rooms was filling up quickly.
