Gang,
Seems to be some confusion on the simultaneous things going
on during the test.
1. When the VVVs came on so did some body with a string of
Vs trying to copy them. This guy was a jerk and probably
has some people after him. Also I wasn't the only one to
note the early arrival. I was looking at the Zeit clock
and was surprised they started early. Guess they don't
get WWV. :-)
2. The SSB signal that was zero beat, i.e. center of the
voice that was readable was at 0Hz relative to the carrier.
I heard a male voice say that he was starting to see flutter.
This sounded like one of the reachers transmitting to the
other listening stations the HAARP project had.
3. There was another CW signal down about 500 or so cycles
that was call FUBJ DE HARP K. This was probably another
'test probe' while the carrier was in progress and afterwards.
4. I ran up to 30M and didn't hear a peep. So it didn't
do anything for any propagation that I could tell here.
What the derive from this will be interesting if they
put it on the web page.
There were at least two other attempted jammers during the CW
transmission. I got the entire message both at 90 degrees and
80 degrees, the latter being the weaker by a slight amount.
I had to scramble to tune a rig down the extra 10 KHz. :-)
Problem with not having a GP HF RCVR I guess.
Some one chewed me out for the zero tolerance rule. So be it.
If he wants to take over the group, just post it and let it
ride. Step right on up. All I wanted to do is to remind the
group that we aren't going to become like the 80M crowd that
was referenced and the 20M crowd. All I want is for scientific
experiments and QRP exercises to be carried out (and this things
aren't cheap) without the rest of the world trying to spoil it
like a lot of other things that are going on. We're outnumbered.
