Hi,
Using the preliminary TLEs I heard ESTCube-1 beacon.
Pass AOS 0908 UTC.
Elevation 20 degrees max.
Adjusted frequency approximately 2 kHz up when listening in USB.
I did not note the time between beacons - but something like 2 min.
Congratulations to Estonian team.

On the last pass, orb. nr 4, good signal but only small pieces of text
as there is a lot of time between CW frames and I was waiting not exactly
on the frequency and time because of the approximate preliminary
parameters.
And I confirm OZ1MY observation, about 2 kHz higher than
Doppler shift prediction using the tle given on the ESCube-1 site.
Two frames received partly because of the panic, the first one ending at
exactly 10:54:20 UTC.
Congratulation to the staff at Tartu and Tallinn, good job ! I'll send
you more info ASAP directly.
best 73 !

I believe that the Biomass satellite, just approved by ESA and slated for a
2020 launch, is a Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite that will operate
432-438 MHz.
As I recall 432-438 MHz was allocated to these broadband radar satellites
about a decade ago.
