Hi Keith!
This was not one of the Malaysian satellites. Someone got the ISS packet working again, and based on ariss.net it looked like it started working yesterday afternoon. I remember seeing that a replacement packet module wasn't due to go up until October or November, but the packet system is on. I don't know how long it will stay operational this time, but it is nice to have it on again.
73!

The ISS packet doesn’t go up until the next Progress. You’re probably hearing the recently released Malaysian birds that digipeat with the same ID as the ISS. I’m out and about, so I can’t provide links/details at the moment
