Why does the QAEM R/B (58818 / 2024-015B) have an active signal?

Looking for some understanding…it seems a 437.54 MHz signal is coming off the Iranian QAEM 100 Rocket Body (58818 / 2024-015B)? Having been in orbit > 7 months now…this is puzzling, no?

From the Network good observations for QAEM 100, most of them need re-vetting as they don’t have any signal that follow the TLE of the satellite.

The expected signal should look like this SatNOGS Network - Observation 9257311.

I’ve did a quick run through the good observations and marked as bad the ones that didn’t contain signal from the satellite. Thanks for binging this on our attention and by the way welcome in the community!
