Deployed at 5:02 CST (23:03 UTC). Away it goes (watching on NASA-TV).

The cosmonaut said "Goodbye, Mr. Smith" as he tossed it away.

I believe I read that there was either a 7 or 17 minute delay from
deployment to when transmitter comes on.

Passes for SE Michigan... (first that will go over) looks like about
5:39 AM and then 7:12 AM EST on Saturday Feb 4. (Using Orbitron program
with Keplerian elements for ISS)

Unfortunately, some guy north of Detroit is running his packet beacon on
145.990.
