Hi Auke and Mark, I checked 3 passes of IO-26 this morning and it fits very well. I used this setting in the doppler file of SatPC32:
IO-26,435789.4,145875,USB,FM,NOR,0,0
Happy hunting and looking forward to more news.

Hello Auke,
You may very well be hearing IO-26, ITAMSAT.
IO-26 is currently in MBL mode transmitting PSK at 435.790 MHz +/-
Doppler, so it's quite a bit lower than the published/launch frequency of 435.822. It has drifted a good bit!
If you share a footprint with my station, you might very well be hearing
some MBL telemetry and/or packets coming from IO-26. Keep tuned for more information in the coming weeks :)
73,
Mark N8MH
