Regarding Observation 12065045 …
I’m assuming the primary lines running through the waterfall is a satellite and the excess lines surrounding the brightest lines is either interference or ground noise?
Still new here and would like a second opinion on this one.
Thank you!

Hi, no, as far as I see it’s all interference. Some narrow band and some wider signals.
I compare with Bro-13 observation SatNOGS Network - Observation 12064574 and this is how the satellite signal should look.
Keep on asking your question about your obs !

Got it! I wonder what is causing that – will be looking into what nearby could be causing that pattern of interference.
Thank you so much!

Despite the interference, strong signals still visible 12064396 .
And it sometimes looks intermittent 12033981 .
If I would guess, it’s antenna proximity to other electronics, including the rpi of the station.

I’m reviewing all successful attempts on my end to make sure I haven’t made a mistake in the past and came across this one.
Would this be a satellite with doppler shift creating the line or interference?
Thank you all!

No, sorry. That is a carrier / birdie which shifts with the doppler correction for the followed satellite. Might be even locally generated by your SDR device.

This one SatNOGS Network - Observation 12065048 is valid for ISS reception, except that the transmitter appears to be APRS on 145.825 Mhz

Oh sweet, awesome! This is perfect feedback (full pun intended)!
Thank you for taking the time to help me. Will go and re-vet all of my “good” observations to clear up any misidentified signals.
