Since I'm new at this, perhaps the Digitalker on FO-29 is nothing unique. But I heard it tonight for the first time and was recording with my SDRPlay, so if anyone else has not heard it, here is a link to a 1-minute recording with the noise gaps removed:

The quality is not great; I wasn't expecting to see FM. But you can understand a good portion of it.

Scott,
The FO-29 digitalker has not been active in many years. What you are hearing is an Echolink or IRLP transmission from the ground. I'll have to try to copy down the numbers to identify it. It sounds like someone was linking nodes together.
Unfortunately, it's far too common for people to setup Echolink nodes or personal crossband repeaters in the amateur satellite subband and to hear that through FO-29.
What frequency were you hearing it at?

This is Echolink node 43609 - WV8CW in Horner, WV operating on 145.900 MHz.
Unfortunately he has no email address in QRZ. If anyone knows how to contact WV8CW, please let me know so we can ask him to move out of the amateur satellite subband.

I just took a second and notified him on echolink. He said he would move frequency and was not aware of the satellite.
