[Elecraft] Babies at play as seen on the P3

[Dave Cole (NK7Z)]

I see a lot of sweepers, which are in reality Ionosonds.  The way to 
tell, is if they cover a very wide range, and they sweep at the same 
speed, they are probably probing the ionosphere.  There are a LOT of 
them sweeping the 40 meter band.

73s and thanks,
