Hi Group,

I found this by following links from the SpaceWeather website.. where a fellow ham is using it to detect meteors and satellites. You can listen on the web to the signals at

 http://spaceweatherradio.com/navspasur.php

Also, some interesting .WAV files and a description of how this works can be found at

This is not exactly QRP (At 6.3 GW EIRP - Yes, thats Giga ) but then you can RX UHF radar with a modest home antenna and General coverage RX on 216.980 Mhz from this govt. system.

Check out this HTML slide show about the naval space surveillance system.
