Help to identify this

Hey
I am curious to identify this signal especially there is line between bursts in beginning of the video , every morning broadcasting .

Is this a satellite operating at 400.6 / 400.64mhz?

So I can't find a decent website that I can cross check previous satellite pass (maybe I'm bad at it and can you provide me one?).

Also I assume this is a satellite due to the doppler shift effect, but correct me if this is something else. I captured it 12:26:14 UTC, Oct 4 2026

What could this be?

EDIT: Radiosonde

Signal I’m curious about

There is this signal which can be heard across various frequencies in the HF range; I’ve heard it multiple times while dx-ing.

Does anyone know what it is?
