Hi guys.
I listened to Max Valier sat in the pass at 20.30z above Barcelona JN11AK, very strong signals in CW message id received correctly.

What a pity that there will be less meaningless QRM to interrupt communications through AO-91. Max Valier Sat really lived up to its owners’ expectation of a “100 year” service life, with a beacon that in their infinite wisdom, could not be turned off by ground command, only by a completely unforeseeable and very unfortunate failure.

It seems the Max Valier beacon is malfunctioning. On 145.960 only a very strong continuous carrier (30 dB above noise level) can be seen and heard, but no more CW ID + message. A pity, because it was my go-to beacon to check if my 2 meter antenna contraptions were at least working a bit.
Luckily I have the QSL card in my collection already.
