Guys,
Reading the article
http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/mbann.html If I
make sure my computer clock is acturate, I should be able to time for
the 2sec then 3sec period start from the top of the hour and this should
confirm or not if its been the transmitter
I bloody well should have done that yesterday
Regards

Likewise mate, at least with your posting you can hear the Source then
echo
Regarding the moon, hmmm it has been high in the sky very early in the
night several days back, so its possible the moon was visible, however
its been raining hear for past 48 hrs and have major cloud cover, so I
can't visually confirm. Based on
http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/astro/moonrisenset it says for South Canberra
it should rise 1739 AEDT which was 0439 UTC.
Thats said, on the side of hope, the faint tone does sound like your
echo ??
Also, during the afternoon, I not sure what the 6.9-7.5 freq like for
progation between Australia to US propagation, but I don't hear to
much until the sun sets ?? There again the Moonbounce Transmitter
where using a fair it of power.....
BUGGER!!!! hopefully ARRL / Moon Bounce team may respond to my email
and put me out of my misery
Either which way, your recording was brillant and shows what the
signal was suppose to sound like, do you mind if I use it on my BLOG ?
Regards
Mark

Interesting thought ?
I can hear the tone faintly, but is it the transmitter or echo ?
Hmmmmmmmm

Mark,
Thanks for posting the nice recording. I would presume you are
hearing the transmitter, as it is the more powerful signal. There is
quite a bit of path loss to the moon and back, so if you are only
hearing -one- signal, bet on it being the stronger (terrestrial) signal.
Also, to hear a reflection from the moon, the moon has to be above
the horizon. As the moon was high overhead in the USA for the
duration of the test, wouldn't the moon have already set (or not yet
risen) in Canberra?
