[Moon] Graves Radar

[Oene Spanjer]

Hello All,

After a posting on moon-net some time afgo of Rob PE1ITR
and a recent topic about it on the ON4KST chat a few days 
ago I now had the time to observe this signals myself via the
moon.
The radar is located in JN27si and generates a huge signal
via the moon at 143.050
It is a very nice beacon and helpfull tool which tells us how 
moon condx are and for measurements, and hearing it so
strong gave me some excitement :-)

Some pictures can be seen at the adresses below

and for some information about the beacon itself info can be
found at  http://www.fas.org/spp/military/program/track/graves.pdf

GL to All in coming weekend Dubus event and I will probably
qrv only in the first few hours, because together with my children
will spend some few days holiday starting Saturday.
Besides that, I dismanteled the PA for upgrade to a GS35and
can only run 50W at the moment,  so maybe able to work 
Graziano if he is qrv .

Best of luck !
