Audio Sample

This radar was spotted in northern Europe on 29th of June 2024 during good sporadic E conditions. It transmits a pulsed signal with 640 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). pulse frequency. Bandwidth is more than 100 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz but it's hard to determine accurately as the spectrum edges are smooth and the spectrum forms "lobes" as can be seen in the picture.


Possible candidate is the meteor radar of University of Leipzig in Collm, which operates on 36.2 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz and is apparently of SKiYMET type. [1][2][3][4]
