I’d like to suggest Max Valier Sat.
Norad ID 42778
CW Beacon 145.960MHz - very strong
9k6 GMSK 145.860 - TLM

Scheduled first obs to 20:20 UTC. Pass will be good wrt. my antenna view, so we will see how strong that CW beacon is
So far not much luck: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/?norad=42778
I wonder whether anybody has info about the status and activity of the satellite?
Yeah, very interesting.
When I made the recommedation, I was hearing it very well on my AMSAT system. Seems to have gone quiet. I was monitoring the pass this morning (Australia) around 0245UTC and nothing. WIll keep listening…
Quiet tonight, nothing heard.
When I previously heard it, it was daylight hours in Australia.
Indeed, I suspect it needs daylight for that 5 watt transmitter
Anyway, we can keep trying.
Looks like there was a partial capture of CW in one of the stations on network-dev https://network-dev.satnogs.org/observations/6442/
Here as well: https://network-dev.satnogs.org/observations/6492/
The VHF antenna is only 1.8m above ground, just for testing. It’ll be up on the roof soon. Should be a better signal then.
It seems that the CW beacon is not always on.
An excellent pass (65°) over Western Australia this morning, and nothing heard, even on my AMSAT system.
