CAS500-2 Rideshare: VSFB SLC-4E - 2026-05-03 6:59 UTC

And over Europe 2026-06-30 09:52:36 it was back to 1k2, it is also strange to see that the AX.25 information is NOCALL when in 1k2 mode.

Maybe someone of the team can explain this behavior ?

Update, looking at this observation there is 1k2 and 9k6, I have a theory, most BPSK G3RUH radio’s are build by ISISPACE in the Netherlands, maybe there ground station in Delft is commanding the satellite.
