Frank,
This is noise that is internal to the satellite. I believe it is some kind of image of the telemetry beacon that shows up in the transponder's passband.
On some of the other XW-2s, you can also hear similar images at times if you're in a quiet enough location to hear the transponder noise floor, but its very prominent on XW-2D.

Listened to the 2200Z pass over NY and heard what I thought was SSTV throughout the entire pass right in the middle of the transponder passband.
I could not decode with either DM-780 or MMSSTV.
Can anyone confirm what this could have been ?
Thanks Frank WA2NDV
