Adcock antennas (phase front detectors) come to mind for HF
as does the Wullenweber, I was merely wondering what means was employed to
obtain a bearing. But if it was so 'secret' as you imply, then I'm left to
suspect it was subterfuge or snitching. In any case the issue seems to be
'temporarily' resolved. Maybe it was an inefficient brute force grid search
where some dedicated people gas up and drive around with simple field strength
or "S" meters hoping the vagaries of propagation don't too severely compromise
their efforts.


Well, yeah, direction finding is, obviously, involved. Just guessing,
I'd think teenagers are involved and using their parents stations.

Why, because I would use my 1KW mobile, hit the freeways, cruise nearby
towns, drive in the country, etc., while "jamming." So, obviously, the
resources available to "these would be jammers" is rather limited.

But then, you already knew that ...

Actually, having family involved in education, you might wish to rethink

"canvases needing a picture", needing "instruction", needing direction,
needing purpose, etc.

If operating from a smallish area is what they're doing, they might get spotted

screwdriver 80m whips standing so obvious on the vehicles.
I was just wondering how the general region was determined.

I would think, detecting me, in a mobile, would be a study in failure

You sound like you're talking about a Texas Star Sweet Sixteen
which sucks very heavily on any electrical system.


Actually, I had one of these, more to mind:

Yep, that sounds like games for the local CBer crowd.

Actually, I think these boys have amateur licenses, they are just kinda

by all means, please post it here, I am interested!

Yeah, well, in parting, "GET REAL!"
