There is no known ETS-6 reflection for Australia (Ron Welch, Canberra?) - the tracks are no closer than 20/25 degrees from flash cones. For Tokyo, the flashes occur at RA 14:20 Dec -15 to 16:20 -12 and 03:30 -15 to 05:50 -19 over a three day interval. For Singapore, there is no intersection either, but the track runs 3-5 degrees off the cone from RA 8 to 12, dec -18, so faint flashes should be possible. I have not checked if ETS-6 really passes these sky sections while they are above horizon. Superbird in a later mail.
