- Carrier detected in JPG files 22-38-04 Frames 9 through 13
- I will track this carrier in the morning
- This carrier was invalidated. It appears in the same place (Az/El) but a different DEC/RA.

2006-12-10 This series of JPGs show a line that appeared in frames 9 to 16 and then dropped out Notes: - While collecting data from RA 05 frames from RA 07 were collected. I have no idea how. This is a retest of that collection.
- 2006-12-09 - At about 11:15 PM I was able to move of with Elevation motor and confirmed that carrier did go away.
- Attempted to move off with Az but motor would not move the antenna. I think I must have hit the Az limit switch.
- I'll reset the switch and retest tomorrow.
- 2006-12-10 -I have reset the switch. The problem was that the wires from the Az dead man switch were caught in the path of the switch itself.
- I moved the antenna back to the Az/El reported from last night (and embedded in these JPGs) and DID NOT find the signal (this is a good thing).
- I will scan the frequency around this Az/El but the DEC/RA will not come up until late tonight. When the DEC/RA comes up I will retest again.
- On closer examination of this Az/El I did find the carrier again. This invalidates the signal (see below).
- During the collection of the invalidating frame I move the receiver to verify that the carrier was not an image. It did move in the right direction as shown in the frame.
Frame 9 Frame 11 Frame 13 Frame 15
Signal Invalidated Invalidating frame
The carrier turned up again at this Az/El (but a completely different DEC/RA) so it is invalid [
