Bob somewhere very recently there was an article about this new radar.
Unfortunately senility is setting in and I can't find it. What I remember is it
is a project being tested by the Australian Gov't. The web pages that reference
the tests have been 'pulled'.
For information there have been several occasions over the last few months on
75m when the usual morning path to the Pacific has been completely useless due
to this new OTHR. Some of the 'old-timers' have tried the old trick of matching
their keyer speed to the pulse rate but it had no effect.
Good Luck in AA.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 40M "Woodpecker"
Anyone on this reflector have info on the latest "Woodpecker" over the
horizon radar? Its making a mess of 40m CW and is gonna be real difficult to
deal
with in All Asian Contest this weekend.
Here's what I am hearing from Arizona USA
Predominate below 7000 khz up to 7017 or so.
Heard during 0800-1200Z period this morning. (Did not listen during other
times)
S7 with some qsb (rx is calib so S9=50uv and S7 is close to 10db below S9)
Peaking about 290-320 degrees (BY ???) on 3 el yagi
Maybe those of you with directive 40m antennas can add to this report.
