It's not loud enough to copy with my dipole, because it's still pretty low in the sky to the north (shielded by hills a bit) - but NO-44 seems to be blorting away quite the thing on 145.825MHz. At least, I can't see what else it would be, unless it's some local mobile (unlikely).

Gordon,
Where is the ISS at the time you are hearing this signal? It's been running packet quite often on that frequency. Just a thought.

Well south of the horizon. NO-44 was at it again today (gpredict confirmed an NO-44 pass, don't know why I didn't think of that yesterday) but again too weak to decode. Really busy, though.
Right, I'm off to make a preamp. Maybe I'll get it next time around. Unlike the ISS, I get nice high passes off NO-44. The ISS rarely gets above 30 degrees...

There is a webpage for PCSAT on findu.com. The callsigns from the satellite appear as W3ADO-1 and PCSAT-11.
