Thats why used "SEEMS" and not names. A difficult theme as /if that persons even is not him . We are only trying to inform we are not hands off and looking for what can we do really. Not name is published.,If I had certainty it was solved for sure.

Hi all,
as long he only transmits lyrics, I am fine with that. Callsign, yes or no. The problem will rise, if it will get political.
The satellite is covering a lot of regions which are critical. Let's hope, non of them discovers this one as a proper medium, as the downlink is easy to receive.
Either Leila, or an active notch might be a solution.
As we transmit up to the sky, worst in the WLAN area, it is from my point of view almost impossible to discover the transmitter.
We have to keep our fingers crossed, that it doesn't get worst.
Just my 2 cents...

What would be required is a LEO satellite (polar orbit) that can receive on the uplink band and can do analysis of the signal. Of course it requires that the signal is persistent, like this one is. The satellite could be programmed to receive at a certain frequency and analyze the doppler. When it receives the signal it already indicates the general area (much smaller than the QO-100 coverage area) but combined with the doppler curve and a few passes it is possible to indicate the transmit site to within the precision required to go there and do local foxhunting.
Remember there are dozens of cubesats being built and launched each year by universities and other research institutes who just want to build a satellite for instructional- or general "space research" purposes but are short of ideas what to do with it once it is in space. Especially when they want to use the amateur band for the telemetry downlink, they frequently ask "what amateur payload do we put on this to make this pass as an amateur satellite?". Next time, we could suggest to have a 2400 MHz SDR receiver on one or some of them.
On the other hand, I think every country has an interest to prevent illegal transmissions from it‘s own territory.
I would not count on that. Maybe it works like that in Germany, but in many other countries the authorities are not at all interested in what happens inside the amateur bands, as long as it stays inside the bands and does not interfere with priority-1 users like broadcast, emergency services, air traffic control, etc.
Besides, there are like 140 countries in the satellite footprint and a signal could come from any of them. So who do you want to inform? Doing that based on the language of a transmission is risky at best, as already pointed out above.
And even inside a country it is very difficult to locate such signals with equipment operating on the ground.
We have some experience here with a 70cm repeater with country-wide coverage (it once had 25 receivers and 5 transmitters all synchronized on a single frequency pair) and even there it was difficult to locate miscreants, in a search area that is about 5000 times smaller and with stations transmitting omnidirectionally towards the horizon instead of upward in a narrow beam at ~30 degrees elevation.
There are quite some stations operating on QO-100 from my country but I do not hear any of them on the uplink. And this is just a small, densely populated country. Imagine what it would be for a large country.

there was such a thing onboard thr ISS: https://marconissta.com/
unfortunately it was disconnected in early february...

That looks very good, I now remember I read about it but I forgot to relate it to this usage.
Of course a polar orbit would be more optimal but this would do good as well.
As far as I understand it may be re-installed later.
There are 3 special satellite in orbit since december, with similar devices you referred:
This are the HawkEye360, and some weeks ago they started the first test on board, geolocating signals in wide frequency range.
It will be a business based activity, but, maybe in the test time, they accept some voloutair based request too: recording some signals over the part of Es'hali's coverage area, in 3 different satellites.
Here is the news about the test time:

This is the SDR platform, they use:

Oh that is really great! We should make some friends there 
Even a formation making it possible to locate in a single pass...
Interesting information!
Yes, but in this case only a little research is needed by the local hams in Madrid to pin-point the illegal transmitter.. maybe frequency regulation authority in Spain can help too..
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Since few days Rocio lover beacon switched to voice and now txing SSB on 10489.563
I believe I have a recording somewhere, in which he tested and was calling 'Apollo' or something ... Hope I find it ..
..it seems he switched this evening from CW and SSB now to SSTV?
10.489.567 MHz
Perhaps similar contents as on FleetsatCom8 ?

Anyone having a SSTV capture or SSB recording of this guy in the QO-100 please send them to mycall@ure.es
