The first contacts were made using the amateur radio payload on SumbandilaSat during Sunday evening, October 18th.
From the SumbandilaSat Mission Blog:
During the first morning pass of Sun 18 Oct we have activated the voice beacon (435.350 MHz) at 07:48 UTC and switched on the bent-pipe transponder (uplink 145.880 MHz, downlink 435.350 MHz) during the first evening pass at 19:13 UTC, with several Radio Amateurs then operating through the satellite transponder.
You can listen to a recording made during the evening

For those who use Orbitron for satellite tracking, do you know if it is inluded in one of the TLE's? And if so, do you know its name? I've looked through the "Amateur" TLE but couldn't find it.

Will it's tracking predictions be available on the amsat.org website? Is it something I can integrate into SatPC32 as well?

It's in the AMSAT NASA.ALL keps file as SUMBDILA, and will soon be on the online tracking engine on AMSAT.org. Keep in mind it's not open for general use yet, so it might be awhile before you'll hear anything.
