Kurt, can you actually hear anything from the radio signals? That would be cool.

Next major meteor shower is not until April. For the next few months, I expect only to record anomalous spikes and the daily apex-of-the-way trace. I have purchased and am replacing the data recording laptop with a cheap desktop computer. The HP laptop has heating problems during extended use that causes the computer to stop recording - which is the cause of data gaps in the report. - Clear skies - Kurt Station description: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2984 [Observer]Kurt Fisher [Country]United States of America [City]Salt Lake City Utah [Longitude GMAP]-111.882 [Latitude GMAP]40.775 [Frequencies]55.250 mhz CW [Antenna]MFJ-1622 Radial Antenna, HF [Azimut Antenna]90 [Elevation Antenna]45 [Pre-Amplifier]MFJ-1045C Preselector 55 mhz [Receiver]ICOM R1500 [Observing Method]Spectrum Labs software [Remarks]Presario V4000 1.7Ghz Pent M [Soft FTP]Colorgramme RMOB Lab v 2.3 _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
