How about MORE!? This would be a super thing to do if we can. My Thoughts.... I tried finding again a page I found about a Doppler System that will work when listening to a SSB Signal, but I can not find it at this moment. In addition I do not see why a 2 meter Doppler system could not be scaled to say 20 meters or even 40. My thoughts are, think of an HF Receiver, That when the owner is not using it for talking to people, can have it running and using a doppler system that is monitoring all the signals it is hearing. Determining directions for the signals it hears. OK cool.? Now when it gets a beam heading,,,, oops a direction,, it time stamps it,? and sends it to a server that plots the heading on like a google map.? Think like APRS type of system almost. https://aprs.fi Now this sounds kind of cool, BUT.. Wait theres more! Now think, of this, with dozens if not hundreds say people at any given moment doing this, OK Think of the ARRL new version of the "Official Observers" http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-board-adopts-volunteer-monitoring-program-official-observer-program-to-be-retired Think if them and as many other just plain folk were to have this running, and park their receivers on those two freqs on 40 and 20 meters ya know 7200 and what 14313? In no time with everyones plots,,, well Plotting,,, and time stamped,? where everyones lines are crossing is the offending station. It would be a fast and very efficient way to clean up those cesspool frequencies. Thoughts? Joe WB9SBD -- Sig The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle Tyme Idle-Tyme.com http://www.idle-tyme.com
