Yes, sure!!
If you will try to use them for the satellites' re-entry, make recordings of
the VLF signals during, (at least), one hour before and after the re-entry.
These two hours can give a statistical sample of the natural VLF noise during
the time of re-entry.
The INSPIRE project's homepage:

(they have instructions how to build these receivers)

The information about re-entry of these and all other satellites can be
found here:

Unfortunately, if they manage to control the re-entry, it will happen over
an unpopulated area. In this case, there is a small possibility to see this
re-entry.
Clear skies!
