Yes, tonight's pass here over Asia was also fine with the message received loud and clear. Will keep on monitoring. --Hans

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.
