Notes:
- I ignored this hit while doing other things and when I came back
to it I could not find the signal again
- The JPG shows a very light carrier far to the right edge
- The next day (2009-06-24) I reacquired the signal at Ra 11.46
DEC 12.43. It tripped the alarm at 18% and does show the
correct type of Doppler.
- Signal dropped out for now.
- Acquired again. The signal is at Ra:11.69 DEC 5.38.
Not quite the current position of Saturn but not far from it.
Recording now although the alarm is off.
- Now alarming. Bin 1733, bin shift at 33.
- Signal is in bottom third of the JPG with a second one in the
top 1/3. They appear to be different signals.
- Bottom signal still trips the alarm with the threshold set to
17%
- The signal is now very 'sketchy'. Coming and going at
random intervals.
- I'm going to crank the SpecAns up to full resolution. Its
now at 2.69 Hz/bin but changing to 1.34Hz/Bin
- This resolution does sharpen the signal a lot and it seems to be
tracking the expected Doppler.
- Again - waiting to see if alarm trips at this resolution.
- Alarm not tripped. It looks like the signal is shifting down
band quite a bit faster then Earth Doppler.
- I moved the receiver to 1438,262,800 to get the signal in the
center of the passband but now the signal is gone again.
- I cannot disqualify this signal. I'm going to sleep on it
and look again tomorrow.
- The next day (2009-06-25) I looked again and did find a strong
carrier at Az 121° El 31°.
I'm not sure what it is but its not ET. The signal drifts a
lot and does not follow the stars in time.
