Ken was very fortunate.  If any of the rest of us had been spotted with a camera in the walls between the men's and women's bathrooms we'd undoubtedly be hauled away by the local constabulary.  ;o)

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!
