I forgot that one of the rigs here was on. It happened to be set for 145.825mHZ in FM. A few minutes ago the squelch was broken by what sounded like 1200BPS AFSK. It almost sounded like the old UOSATS. Checking my satellite tracking program I determined it wasn't CAPE-2, TRITON-1 or DELFIN3XT. What birds are up now that have downlinks on or around 145.825mHZ fm? Maybe I have a set of erroneous keps. Any information on this would be appreciated.

Yes, that was UO-11 Comes back to life every now and then and has a LOUD downlink on 145.825 but it is not AX.25 packet.

Very distinctive BEEbuzzbuzzbuzzbuzzBEEbuzzbuzzbuzzbuzz pattern, I've got a recording somewhere. Sounds very much like old BBC Micro tape loading sounds.
Maybe PCSAT / NO-44, object 26931. It's on 145.825, but the batteries are shot Sometimes has enough solar power to become active.
