Notes:

  1. Medium strength signal that seems to have Doppler
  2. Signal was alarmed when I was out of the shack. 
  3. On return I could not find it in the alarmed Az/El and the DEC/Ra had moved out of view
  4. Spectrum Analyzer was running at 16 K points so not the highest resolution.
  5. This signal will have to wait until tomorrow to see if its at the DEC/Ra
  6. Searched this location for several hours the next day with no signal found.
  7. I have searched this area for three days straight with no results.  I must move on now.

 Very faint carrier

Notes:

  1. This signal was spotted almost by accident.  I was scanning through a bunch of JPGs and had to back up to one of the frames because I though I saw something.  I then went back to that frequency, I was scanning at the time, and turned on the IIS  filter.  The signal popped right out of the noise.
  2. I will check on this signal again in about an hour to see if the signal stays in the same place Az/El and keeps sidereal or civil time
  3. BUSTED - An hour later the signal was found again at exactly the same Az/El but an hour away from Sirius.  Unknown source but its very narrow band and dependant on the antenna  pointing.
  4. I will run with the IIS filter on after seeing the improvement it makes.
