Russian language uhf satellite transmissions

[Analoguesat]

Ive been searching for the Brazilian Satfleetcom tranamissions this evening & have run across something in Russian (or similar language) on 253.860MHz. No special antenna here - its just using my 137MHz turnstile that I use for the wxsats!

These are my settings in SDR++ if anyone wants to have a look.

Interesting Analoguesat. Using SDR # and a DAB AE facing SE I can hear it too. It seems more like a radio station than the usual Brazillian stuff. Maybe something to do with Ukraine?

If it's there all the time and without much Doppler, maybe it's a geo.
USA164, 18.9E +/-10 incl. or USA095 28.7E +/-12 incl?
Channel Q3 253.850 MHz down, 293.85 up (= 146.925MHz x2)

Its my belief its a geostationary bird too. Im in the middle of nowhere so Im unlikely to be getting these uhf transmissions from terrestrial sources & the signal wasnt exhibiting any doppler shifts.

Can you post a picture of what you have outside ?

Left top 137MHz turnstile (also used for ISS sstv on 145.8)
left lower - 145MHz dipole. Really only used for one of the Baofeng handhelds to monitor the local repeaters in the summer when Im sitting in the garden
right - 1090 aircraft tracking antenna

Is that the turnstile from the guy in Slovakia on ebay ? I've got one also but I don't seem to get as good results as I use to. Using a Joe Hobbs QFH now for V2, which is excellent

Yes it is. Mine still seems to give decent results. There is a slight design problem with it - the antenna socket isnt really protected from the weather. Ive just put mine back up as the shed roof has been replaced & it had to come down for a week as it was in the way. Ive managed to put it back up with the antenna socket unprotected to the south west so all the driving rain will get onto it. I'll take it down again over the summer & rotate the mast round 180 degrees. And maybe see if I can find a way of waterproofing it a bit.
