[Elecraft] OT-P3 capture of a 17M intruder

[Ken G Kopp]

Google "Seasonde" for more information.

Rose and I have been lighthouse hosts for the Oregon State Parks
Dept in the past.  Several of the parks on the beach have Seasonde
equipment housed in the plumbing areas between the men's and
women's bathrooms, and I have photos of these installations,
including their licenses and antennas.  The ones in the Oregon
State Parks are operated by the University of Oregon.  These ...
and CODAR ... operations are confined to specific (narrow) bands.
They do not operate in the amateur bands.

Ionospheric sounders, on the other hand, may appear anywhere
in the HF spectrum.  Some sweep upward at a steady rate and
others spray random bursts throughout the HF spectrum. There
is one operating in Boulder, Colorado right in the city behind the
NBS campus.  It's been there for decades.  Weber State (Utah)
has one in continuous operation.  Sounders are everywhere, even
in Antarctica.  PSK31 users often see them in their "waterfalls", but
few recognize them for what they are.

73!
