radar mile

The time required for a radar pulse to travel 1 mile (~1.6 km) to an object, i.e., to a target; reflect; and return to the receiver. Note: A radar statute mile is approximately 10.8 ms (microseconds); a radar nautical mile is approximately 12.4 s. The time for any other radar unit distance is readily determined, such as the radar meter or the radar kilometer. NTIA

I listen to propagation mapping radar on the 27 MHz freeband.

Air Traffic Control

A game played by airline pilots and air traffic controllers. The game has no rules, and neither side knows how it is played, but the goal is to prevent flights from arriving in time for passengers to make connecting flights.

Flying used to be fun, but its not with this air traffic control shit.

The ELT transmits a distincive signal on the international emergency frequencies of 121.5 MHz (VHF) and 243.0 MHz (UHF). This signal is picked up by ground stations, search and resuce aircraft (see Civil Air Patrol and Coast Guard, and satelites. Direction-finding equipment is then used to "home-in" on the signal and locate the downed aircraft.

Click on the recording above to listen to the sound of real ELT radio signal.
