Good to hear that more station are receiving PRATHAM on VHF.
My last pass of this morning 12:06 UTC was also successful, but again no signals on UHF.
If you want to see how this satellite sounds, I have a SDRSharp Base band IQ on the following location. The SDR that I used for this recording is a FUNcube Dongle Pro+ at 192000 samples/second.

Sorry for the mess in the spectrum, but as you can see I have some terrible QRM on VHF.

Hi my friends !
Heard VHF CW beacon in western Europe, around 09:00 UTC, orbit nr 1201, 15 deg. max pass above horizont. I fully agree with Greg/KO6TH: "Good to hear the Chirpy Sat again!". :-)
Have a nice day, 73!

Hello all,
We are glad to inform you that PE0SAT was able to receive the beacon of the satellite yet again. We have started the preparation to track the satellite in the hopes of establishing if the satellite is active again. We would be glad if you could help us in this and try receiving the signal from Pratham.
Downlink: Frequency: 437.455 MHz Modulation: FSK
Beacon: Frequency: 145.98 MHz Modulation: CW OOK Morse code.
Kind Regards, Team Pratham. _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
