Anyone know these. There's one in central Ga that's RX-only. Seems
there's another 150 around country.
Rx antennas are 150' long "linear things" that broadside north
Friend had to pick up a pal at one here & found it was built in early
60s to watch other guy's satellites. Some kinda doppler dealie wherein
one TX's reflected sig. picked up all over & sig. processing done
on 'way old computers to improve C/I (SN).
Now other guy's satellites all on web & site need so far down there's
no budget. But Navy still runs 'em off other budgets 'cause they "just
know there'll be something that they'll do again."
Anyone know this system?
