Hi, Barry (and Don). The 7407.5 is a lot weaker here in Victoria. The interesting thing is that the moon bounce portion, at times, is at the same strength as the HAARP signal itself! Again, I haven't fiddled with the SDR span to measure the exact moon bounce frequency, but they are obviously very close. I guess I wouldn't be able to differentiate a few Hz anyway. From the SDR, the HAARP signals are only 10 to 15 dB above the noise floor, and it's impossible to differentiate the HAARP from the moon bounce. They kind of flow into one another, so sometimes it's sounding like a continuous tone. Yes, sure is interesting, but wouldn't a voice transmission be really awesome! .....Walt. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
