Nice !

I am not in the UK but would like listen for this old bird.

I found the following TLE on space-track

PROSPERO (BLACK ARROW)
1 05580U 71093A   11291.61144574 +.00002376 +00000-0 +56163-3 0 09176
2 05580 082.0410 258.8711 0544021 299.6964 055.1125 13.90307377003077

What download freq and modulation can we listen for?
