For anyone in the Sydney area keen on hearing about and seeing results from Andrew VK3OE's backscatter chirp radar, I'll be giving a presentation at the monthly meeting of the St George ARC on Wednesday 1st September. The presentation is an updated version of the one I gave at GippsTech 2010 back in July. Here are the details:
The Practical Propagation Explorer
A Digital Backscatter Chirp Radar for Amateur Use
Venue: Kyle Bay Scout Hall, Donnelly Parade, Connells Point
Time: 7pm for 7:30pm
I'll be giving an outline of the principles of the chirp radar, show the sort of results achieved and an analysis of the propagation revealed. All from some smart software and common amateur equipment.
Take a look at "the cutting edge"
