Robert Holdsworth found R4UAB's station data:

https://aprs.fi/info/a/R4UAB

The displayed site co-ordinates are consistent with several of R4UAB's Doppler plots of known satellites. 

His claimed observation of Ofeq 5 on July 23 UTC, is very close to Ofeq 9, based on Mike's 29 day old elements:

1 36608U 10031A   20175.82665615  .00000600  00000-0  22592-4 0    05
2 36608 141.7465 347.8970 0007500 275.8567  84.1425 15.26183924    08

Oddly, the elements R4UAB derived from his observations do not agree at all with his July 23 obs.

I am beginning to doubt the relevance to Kevin's object.
