Z-Sat transmits at 9k6 GMSK

Yesterday, I’ve noticed that Z-SAT is transmitting 9k6 GMSK instead of its regular CW beacons.

I have not been able to decode anything yet.
Either the signal is not strong enough or there are just empty transmissions.

Could somebody schedule observations in 9k6 instead of CW?

Hello, I scheduled an observation of Z-SAT this evening and acquired this. I can confirm that the satellite is not transmitting the usual CW beacon.

If other recent observation don’t include CW singals from Z-Sat, feel free to mark the transmitter as inactive in a suggestion in DB. More details how to do that you can find them in Transmitter Suggestions - SatNOGS Wiki

After a week’s poking at the signal and getting stuck I notified @EA4GPZ and gave a strong recording to him. He worked out the mystery and made a blog post and X-link
