Been hearing a satellite in which its down link similar to that of AO-51 
(around 435.310 starting) All I hear is CW telemetry coming from the 
unit. The last contact was around 2038 UTC at
    28.161350    NORTH    Latitude   (my location EL98)
    80.703160    WEST       Longitude

Some of the telemetry I could copy before it faded was:

    ISUN0
    ITXA0
    ITXB6
    TTXA65
    TTXB66
    TNAP80
?   MIXF0
    MCON53
    SMA86
    SMB62
    etc.

There seems to be approximately 17 data codes and then repeats. The 
signal is usually strong enough that it comes through quite well even 
without the 70cm preamp being turned on.

Anyone have an idea of what satellite that this might be?

Regards,

    Reid, W4UPD
