[Boatanchors] AEA Moscow Muffler Woodpecker Blanker WB-1

[Revcom Electronics]

Oh that brings back memories....

Along with the "Woodpecker", OTHR, used to 
map our landscape as well as watch for planes,
anyone remember the "sounders".  The frequency
sweeping signal, (burrrrrip, with a pulse) going up
the band.  Used to try and chase them with the 
'ole HQ-129X.

Think they came from good ole US.  There was/is
a very large propagation research system in Alaska
that was Megawatts in HF band.  Is it operational

Never knew they had a filter for it, Mark. Interesting. I do remember
hearing it march up and down the bands regularly and cursing it,
though. Wonder if anyone has an mp3 or.wav file of it?

Good ol' Cold War ham radio nostalgia...
