Amateur satellites are moving objects, so you would need to know when a satellite’s footprint is over Shawnee. The ability to aim your antenna both in elevation and azimuth would also be helpful to provide the strongest signal to your receiver. You can look up a particular satellite’s expected passes over your grid square by using the “Predict” page on the AMSAT website:

You can also review the list of active satellites and their downlink/uplink frequencies here:

Otherwise, is there another ham in the area that can fire up a CW/SSB/FM signal between 432-436 MHz (the coverage of the XV432)? Perhaps a member of a local radio club could assist.
Hope this helps,
