9k6 Signal - Please identify

I’ve received 9k6 signals in 40 seconds intervals on 437.250 following 58921 but was unable to decode it.

One good example:
2025-03-13T10:23:37 437.250 9k6 FM.wav.zip (17.2 KB)
(Just remove the suffix .zip)

Please try for yourself.

Could it be NExSat-1, or maybe DRO-L?

Created some obs to save IQ recordings, lets see if we can decode them.
It is possible this is BPSK and not FSK

I also recorded it in USB, but looking at the wave form of the FM recording, it looks like FSK.


With a preamble at the beginning.

Using this fsk.grc.zip (1.4 KB) fsk gnuradio flowgraph

I get this

It’s showing clearly the 0xaa preamble.

Should/Could the next byte be the 0x7e HDLC flag?
