> Actually, in the early days of the NRL fence, the moon was picked up by > NAVSPASUR as an echo return, [snip] Non-visual content alert! One of the few amateur NAVSPASUR listeners told me some years ago that he'd picked up the lunar return on a hand-held receiver while standing in his driveway. That's a powerful transmitter and a big antenna at Lake Kickapoo, TX. Of course, the moon has a largish RCS at 217 MHz, so that helped. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/seesat/seesatindex.html
