As I understood it, they are looking for co-ordinated beaconing with the
effect of creating a larger signal than would be possible with one station,
so that the wide band receiver would be able to see the signal through the
lossy path and noise to the satellite as a simulation. And, in that line of
thinking, all that would be needed is to ID the beacon and proceed with the
pattern on schedule. Down here the result will likely sound er...
interesting, but the satellite should be happy, barring a wonderful solar
event completely slamming the door on the leakage through the ionosphere.

Oh, and stopped by your web page, nice read and very bandwidth efficient.
The house kept me reading for way longer than I should have on a work night

Hi guys,
as I understand it, NASA wants as many hams as possible to send out series
of half minute long carriers, for several hours, on many specific
frequencies decided by NASA and covering all the most used segment of 10
meters!
To me that looks like incitation to create massive QRM!
Yes, NASA asks participants to comply with the laws. That would mean
listening first, not using a frequency if it is in use, and asking if it
is in use, plus IDing basically after each of the "dits" of that HI
message. But will all participants do that, or will they just put their
carriers atop other stations? I fear that some fellow hams, in the fever
of the action, and finding "their assigned frequency" in use by some
stations they only hear weakly, might choose to simply ignore them!
Let's hope that this will not happen.
Manfred
