ARRL EME CONTEST 2001 Signals received with the SM5FRH antenna.
(Mars 22 2002)

Wideband EME recordings

During the ARRL EME contest 2001 several hours of EME signals was recorded using the large X-yagi array of SM5FRH. The recorded bandwidth is about 90kHz and a very large number of stations can be monitored for a long time in these recordings to evaluate signal levels, Faraday rotation and qsb characteristics.

The data may be interesting for many reasons in the future and to store it safely and to also make it available to anyone interested all the data is placed on an Internet server. When unpacked, these data files can be played directly by Linrad as if they were coming from the antenna at SM5FRH's EME station.

Relative ERP power levels

The data in these files can be used to extract accurate relative ERP power levels for stations that were active when the recordings were made. Here are some examples EME signal levels
