      Hans,
I copy very strong TLM for all XW/CAS Satellites.
http://lu7abf.org.ar/pass.htm shows times, freqs and doppler.

Hans,
Will not laugh, as this is natural, we all try things and it is not straight
forward particularly with the birds, softwares etc....
I congratulate you to have notice XW-2E anomaly and bring same to the BB for
discussion. In spite some OM’s already pin point the issue it is important
that all of us keep a watch (and eyes open) on frequencies and share our
observations as it may lead to so more discoveries and open new frontiers.

Laugh all you want. GPredict doesn't have an entry for XW2E, so I tuned by
hand..........to the wrong frequency. And the pass was an 85 degrees
elevation one, so perfect for getting a good strong signal. Murphy's law.
In the end I did see some telemetry on 145.890, same as yesterday, but I
couldn't detect any CW beacon.

Thanks Scott. I turned back the clock on my phone to 0547UTC and ran my
tracker and XW2E was indeed right over my QTH at that time. Will try
again today to see if I can get any telemetry out of the CW beacon. On
DK3WN there is a report from a Japanese ham who decoded it on July 12th.
Cheers,
Hans

Hello!
As others have mentioned, this is XW-2E.  Here is a tweet w/ screen shot
that I posted the other day showing ALL of the transmitters doing
more-or-less the same thing:

Thanks for the hint. The frequencies are indeed of XW2E and around that
time almost all the XW2 sats came flying over. The screenshot was of
July
15, 0547UTC, so where can you find if a satellite was indeed over your
area
at that time in the past? --Hans BX2ABT

Hans,
This is XW2E I believe, it seems that it came back to life, I got same
at
time this bird was supposed to be over my area.
Also Mike (DK3WN) succeeded to decode its CW telemetry, see his blog
http://www.dk3wn.info/p/.
