13:43-13:48 UTC, 28 Dec 2016, Ele 5 SW-W-WN, 436.200MHz USB
I confirmed the signal from BY70-1 with a pass of the elevation angle 5 degrees.
On this pass it was sending a signal every 5 seconds. I received it with 436.200
MHz USB, but it might be FM. The visible circle of the satellite is very small.
Therefore this satellite will decay and burn up in the atmosphere soon.
