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.
Hi Mal.....What I was hearing, and confirmed by several others here in CADXA
with decent 40m directionality, was definitely not peaking towards VK.
Pointing towards JA/BY/DS etc (310 or so) peaked the woodpecker and then going
to
VK (240-270) dropped the signal several s-units. This was using a fairly
clean pattern 3 el 40m yagi. This was repeatable throughout the 5 hrs I
listened.
AA Test will be messy. Maybe I'll do something else. ;-)
