Hi Stefan
I would like to know what it was on the 29 downlink;), however it was "something" on that downlink frequency. What it was I have no idea but it was a couple of times that I picked this up and it wasn't terrestrial. I heard it also when mobile with my 857 and a RHCP antenna.

Hi Glenn,
If you pick up FO-29 downlink telemetry then the bird is up and your assessment it shouldn't does not make sense.......OR If you pick up something that you think is FO-29 (but in reality is not, than it is NOT FO-29) and you are correct it is not up. it is one or the other :-)

Hello gang,
What I find really odd is that I am picking up some telemetry on FO-29's downlink when I know that bird has passed and not even in view. Each time though I don't have my decode software online and miss what it is.. If anyone has any thoughts about this send it along. As for SatPC32 I haven't seen it being off as much as half an orbit unless the keps aren't up to date. I run that along with Orbitron and have found no issues.
I will be portable with one of my 821's and my antennas, will advise where I am and where I will be when portable in southern Alberta.

I have also observed a digital signal that appears to be 9600 baud packet in the FO-29 downlink transponder bandpass. It does continue after FO-29 has gone below the horizon.
I haven't been able to determine another satellite it could be coming from.
