Very cool, but likely of zero interest to most of my Tumblr readers…

For those who have S-Band receive capability the Lunar Recon. Orbiter can be heard at 2271.190Mhz+/- doppler.

It is a carrier and best found with a DSP audio spectrum program or an SDR.

I found the signal to be in excess of 10db over the noise with a 80cm offset feed dish and LNA.

I found it slightly below and behind the path of the sun today. It is about 1/2 way to the moon.

Very Cool. (via AMSAT)
