file with engineering details inside Notes:
- Alarm sounded and recording started. The waterfall shows very light line
- Shut off tracking so that I could move the antenna around
manually.
Moved +- 5 degrees in Az and El and the amplitude did change.
- Found the highest amplitude (2.5 mV) at Az 111.7, El
19.42 degrees. That corresponds to this star at this time.
- Changed to 50 second integration from 4 second.
- Signal moves from bin 8301 to 8306 (up band) while the receiver
was chirping down at
0.06397 Hz/Sec. Still close enough to trip the alarm running
at 17% of surrounding 11 bins. Now recording again.
- This 'thing' will make a good alignment beacon if nothing else.
- The signal is not moving completely in step with the receiver
chirp but it is close. The receiver moved down to 1438,859,900
during the last JPG generation.
- I think I will move on to another location and come back to this
in several hours. If its still there it can be busted then.
- Its now three hours later than the last note and the signal is
still there. Its very well pointed (it falls off rapidly +/- a
few degrees in either Az or El) and it is positioned high enough in
elevation that it will make a good test beacon for aligning the
system.
- I'm moving a WAV file of the signal to the web site for
reference.
- I haven't the faintest idea what it is but I am sure its not ET
because it does not move relative to the earth - therefore its
BUSTED.
