       According to Monitoring Times magazine (May  1984,  pg  11),
       Russian	NAVSAT	satellites  operate  on	150.000	MHz.  It is
       claimed that they "are quite audible  on	 most  any  scanner
       even with indoor	antennas."

       Here in northern	Illinois, I can	hear these  satellites	for
       about  10  minutes every	2 hours	on my scanner with a ground
       plane antenna at	17 feet!  I even heard one faintly using  a
       19" piece of wire on the	back of	a different scanner!

       The telemetry sounds something like AFSK	superimposed  on  a
       time standard signal.

       Has anyone else out heard these signals?
