Notes:

  1. Alarm sounded and recording started.  The waterfall shows very light line
  2. Shut off tracking so that I could move the antenna around manually.  Moved +- 5 degrees in Az and El and the amplitude did change.
  3. Found the highest amplitude (2.5 mV) at Az 111.7, El 19.42 degrees.  That corresponds to this star at this time.
  4. Changed to 50 second integration from 4 second.
  5. 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.
  6. This 'thing' will make a good alignment beacon if nothing else.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I'm moving a WAV file of the signal to the web site for reference.
  11. 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.
