[amsat-bb] Has anyone heard the Exceed Satellite?

[Jim White]

Heard unmodulated bursts about one second long about 2 minutes and 10 
seconds apart on 145.900 during the pass starting about 0300 UTC.  The 
direction roughly corresponded with elements 43766. That is, the last in 
the train of objects in the catalog 18999 group.  It sounded unmodulated 
and may have been sweeping in frequency across my receiver.  It was 
clearly from one of the group of satellites; it started at about AOS of 
that object and was not heard after LOS.  The signal was fairly strong.  
It had the feel of a transmitter gone bad or perhaps without enough 
power to come fully on and stabilize.

Using a two Yagi EME array.
