Good to hear that more station are receiving PRATHAM on VHF.

My last pass of this morning 12:06 UTC was also successful, but again no 
signals on UHF.

If you want to see how this satellite sounds, I have a SDRSharp Base 
band IQ on the following
location. The SDR that I used for this recording is a FUNcube Dongle 
Pro+ at 192000 samples/second.

Sorry for the mess in the spectrum, but as you can see I have some 
terrible QRM on VHF.
