Woodpecker RADAR - on 12m!

This afternoon saw reasonable propagation into the eastern Mediterranean, and also allowed a few signals from well-equipped stations in the US to come through.

As I turned my beam towards Cyprus, 24MHz was suddenly hit by a strong, but QSB-affected woodpecking signal for many minutes.

No doubt, given the Russian's known use of OTH radar, and the beaming direction lying towards Syria, that this was related to some ongoing activity there.

For humanitarian, as well as radio reasons, one hopes the woodpecker will not be singing for much longer.
