I often set one of my FM radios on 145.825 when I am not actively doing
much else just on the oft chance I might hear the ISS pass by.

Yesterday and today while I was close to the radio I notice some CW
breaking the squelch on the radio and just now I fired up a SDR to see what
I could hear (and see).

Definitely a satellite (lots of doppler) frequency about as high as 145.820
and faded out at LOS around 145.812  around 2020-05-08 1945 UTC  I am
located near Ottawa Canada.

CW around 15 wpm sending 10 characters like T1YBZGZDZZ. I didn't write down
every group - too busy trying to track.

A quick look through satellite / frequency listings didn't provide a quick
answer so I am wondering if someone might have an idea on what satellite
this is.

cheers, Graham ve3gtc
