Unfortunately, when Fox-1Cliff (and all the Foxes) turns on its Tx it starts at a low frequency and sweeps up to its nominal 145920 over the course of a second or less. You might have heard it sweep across 900. There would be no modulation while that was happening, and it would happen about every two minutes.

Thanks Jim for sharing your observations, the satellite sends out a beacon "V" followed by the RTTY telemetry every minute. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG]

Heard unmodulated bursts about one second long about 2 minutes and 10 seconds apart on 145.900 during the pass starting about 0300 UTC. The direction roughly corresponded with elements 43766. That is, the last in the train of objects in the catalog 18999 group. It sounded unmodulated and may have been sweeping in frequency across my receiver. It was clearly from one of the group of satellites; it started at about AOS of that object and was not heard after LOS. The signal was fairly strong. It had the feel of a transmitter gone bad or perhaps without enough power to come fully on and stabilize.
Using a two Yagi EME array.

What's the best TLE for tracking that satellite?

ExseedSat has been heard, but is sporadic. Along with telemetry from Cliff, if stations with big ears can listen for ExseedSat and report here that would be appreciated.

I reported to Nitin that I had seen it (was watching a display while
trying
to get Fox-1Cliff telemetry). But I think I was mistaken looking at
the
wrong freq. I did not see it at all this morning.

I've listened for the past couple of nights and only heard JY1-SAT,
ITASAT,
AO-95 and MOVE-II around those frequencies. Nothing heard from Exceed
on
145.900 MHz.

After several passes, I still have not heard the Exceed satellite coordinated for 145.900 MHz. Has anyone else heard it or has it
changed
frequencies?
