[Amps] Participate in NASA experiment

[Chris Miller]

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 
:-D
