This is just a unique little novelty, nothing earth shattering. In Asheville if you go to 72.3200 MHz or 72.4000 MHz, you'll find the GPS feed into the Mission Hospital clock system. Now I do not know anything about Satcom, so I don't know if it is uplink, downlink, or sideways link for that matter... The sound is very clear, it consists of a long series of loud high pitched beeps. The transmission is not a constant wave, and is not always active. But, I would say more often than not it is on one of the two frequencies. So, from my limited knowledge point of view, it's pretty cool to hear the satellite communicating with the clocks, and not have to have some kind of extra software hooked up. They're license is WQEN826, with all of the other mobile frequencies associated with it. Take care
