HamScience Zoom Telecon: 26 September, 2000 UTC

[Gary Mikitin, AF8A]

Greetings, All - We have a light agenda for tomorrow (Sept 26, 4PM Eastern in the US), so feel free to bring recent questions, findings, observations and so on to the group.

I propose reviewing an article on Case Western Reserve's CHU listening experiment on the April 8th eclipse.  It was published in The Canadian Amateur a few weeks ago, and it contains some interesting graphs of the CHU audio signals.

We should take time to make everyone aware of the new 'HamSCI-Antenna-Project' forum on Groups.IO.  The purpose is to ferret out the best MF-HF antenna to be supplied with the DASI-2 grant stations.  Rob Robinett is heading up the antenna effort.  As the saying goes: "You can't do good science without good data" and that's exactly why we want to choose the 'best' possible antenna for capturing the spectrum.  'Best' is, of course, a relative term.  As we often said my old R&D days:  'You can have it fast, you can have it good, you can have it cheap, but you can't have all three'.  Is there a similar triangle for antennas?  Join in to find out.
