amsat-bb] [Florida Weak Signal Society] 10 meter satellite PSK
From the text that you copied, I am certain what you saw was my CQ call thru the satellite NO-84.
The macro I use is as follows;
{ "text": " cq cq satellite MYCALL MYCALL " }
This text would be sent continuously while calling CQ. The satellite users rely on multi decoders for the downlink PSK-31. Each side of the contact or Keyboard QSO would be at a different frequency on the waterfall.
As Bob, WB4APR, mentioned, the PSK-31 signal is Doppler shifted by the program I use to transmit. This signal will be skewed to the point it will be hard copy to a terrestrial station. The opposite is also true, I am usually unable to copy more than short segment of terrestrial station.
I hope this was helpful.

Its more interesting that that too.
The reason the 28.118 MHz user uplink has Doppler on it, is because he is using N0SM's pre-compensated Doppler uplink software. See http://aprs.org/psat.html
With this software, you can run your normal PSK31 software for monitoring the 435.350 MHz FM downlink and run full duplex with N0SM's TX software for your 28.1xx uplink. And the uplink is pre-shifted for Doppler so that everyone seeing the downlink will see your signal constant.
And since it is full duplex, you can be typing with comments to everyone in the passband at the same time while watching their comments too. Bob, WB4APR

NO-84 has a PSK transponder, 10m up and UHF FM down.

I was hearing a station on about 28118 KHz last night running PSK31
calling CQ satellite with drift, but since it says CQ satellite, I guess it could have been Doppler shift. Anybody know how this could happen?
