Radiojove back in operation
Apr03
Our Radiojove telescope system went offline on 2023 March 21st.
We found the issue… a chewed through in two places audio cable running from the RJ receiver to the USB sound dongle inside the observatory.
We attempted to splice the cable but that attempt failed.
We ordered a replacement and install it on 2023 April 1st.. so about a 12 day outage.
As we went live, we appeared to be in the midst of an event… normally we do not receive the WWV 20.0MHz time signal from boulder colorado. We are in a skip zone. This day however we were in fact picking up faint and distorted time signals… the regular tick tick tick at 1 second intervals along with a voice every minute.
It lasted for approx 30 minutes and can be seen here:
