I just targeted the area where a 2.34 revs/day orbit would rise out of perigee and nothing was seen at ranges of 2900 km at 21:45UT and 5100 km at 21:55UT. On all three occasions where Kevin saw it it was bright and steady and I expect I would've seen it. As such, I can only conclude that the 2.34 revs/day solution is not the actual one. The 2.17 revs/day orbit that Mike suggested is the next one I will try, but that may have to wait a day or two.
