AO-91 transponder seems way off frequency today

been trying to work AO-91 this morning and the transponder seems shifted down about 2khz from where it should be. doppler correction is on in my software and i double checked the keps are fresh from yesterday. anyone else noticing this or is it just me? using ft-857d with arrow antenna if that matters
