Hi Steve,
Thank you for your questions.
Io-D is very interesting, but rarely observable above 16 MHz. Io-D and Io-C
are radiated from the southern Jovian hemisphere, near the southern auroral
region. Io-A and Io-B are radiated from the northern hemisphere.
Sometimes it shows as a very well defined arc. For a brief discussion of the
arcs, with reference to the literature and arc models, see:
http://herrero.freei.me/Io-D/index.html
In this Io-D the arcs are more diffuse, and different in the Ahead and
Behind STEREO Observatories. It is not always visible from both spacecraft.
Some of the Radio and Astronomy activities at Pueblo High School, in Tucson
Arizona, are described at:

I am an unpaid volunteer at Pueblo HS, helping with Science and Technology
projects. The Radio Club is currently very interested in projects with
Amateur and Educational Satellites.
The German Amateur Satellite organization is planning to place an AMSAT in
Mars Orbit. The European Space Organization is developing a European Student
Moon Orbiter (ESMO). Swisscube is a currently active Cubesat (tiny 1 kg, 1
cubic decimeter satellite).
Some Radio Amateurs in the Tucson area are very experienced with Moon Bounce
(EME) communications, and have 10 meter diameter dishes.
We hope to participate in some of those projects.
I am very glad of your progress in the detailed analysis of February 14
data.
Thanks.
Victor
