4.775, 4.780 . Anybody else on the west coast here them on these
frequencies, and if so, do you know where they are ? TIA

Aren't they for measuring wave crests (as in water) from a distance?

First two links mention California, tossed the others in for the heck of
it. The damn things are all over! Just do a Google search for CODAR.

Are those frequencies the starting point of each sweep or the end? All
of the CODAR stations I've heard (east coast) sweep downward about
25-Khz. In the case of 4.775, it starts at 4.800 and takes about a
second to reach 4.775.

I don't have an oscillioscope to trace the frequencies s. I wish I did.
The darned things are a pain in (supply your own epithet here g).

The audio varies from high to low, but I have not tried to figure out the
frequency distribution.

The signal(s) are in the range I mentioned. Why don't the *******s use radar
from sattelites instead, in a very high frequency range ( 14 trillion ghz
or something).

What really bugs me about the CODAR stations/frequencies is the FCC has
told them to use the international broadcasting bands like 60-m. This
was after they were causing interference in the utility bands below
60-m. I also heard a CODAR on the low end of the 22-m band, which was
interfering with several international stations. The FCC apparently
thinks the international bands are expendable compared to other services
like utilities. The SWL gets the shaft again. That's why I urge everyone
to contact the CODAR stations they hear to complain about it. Explain to
them that using frequencies in the international bands is not the
solution. It wouldn't hurt to tell the FCC too.
