On 27 December, I posted:
"At 1600z 27 December I copied the mystery signal on my K2 a bit above the
noise level here in Oshkosh in eastern Wisconsin (EN54). Using my rotatable
40 meter dipole as well as my tribander, I obtained a broad peak at
approximately 300 degrees (WNW), and a somewhat narrower null at about 30
degrees (NNE).
Is anyone else able to do a similar measurement in order to better estimate
the geographic source of the signal? "
Sam, KL7V/5, was the only person who gave me information on the bearing of
this signal which has apparently since gone kaput. He obtained a broad peak
at about 315 degrees West. Triangulation with two broadly-peaking bearings
is insufficient for street-address accuracy, of course, but a map analysis
indicates that the signal probably originated from Oregon or Washington, at
approximately 45 degrees North, 120 degrees West.
I'm sure Eric and Wayne would both agree that "requiescat in pace" for both
the signal and the topic is appropriate!
Happy New Year to all.
