Briefly heard voice on 432.044.500 about 1920 when Moon was 24.5 deg.elevation; maybe the Moon traversed a sidelobe of my yagi? I checked with KL7XJ who is also trying to hear Arecibo to see if he might have been transmitting - he was not. No other 432 SSB stations within 70-miles so that rules out QRM. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-600w, 432-100w, 1296-60w, 3400-fall 2010 DUBUS Magazine USA Rep [email protected] ====================================== _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
