Quote HistoryQuoted: We are probably trying to track where the information signal is being sent. Shooting it down would kill that transmission. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: True but they might have other objectives, plus low cost op, gauge the response and be provocative all at the same time, I'm sure I can list more reasons but you get the idea...also just throwing those ideas out. I see your point as well. yeah. its just strange i guess. I mean if the USA legit believes its a China spy balloon and we havent shot it down then... 1. We are being told NOT to shoot it down. (china tells this admin what to do) 2. We are allowing them to gather intel under the guise of "the situation is unfolding" sort of slow to response giving them the most time possible. We are probably trying to track where the information signal is being sent. Shooting it down would kill that transmission. "That's faggot talk!" |

Quote HistoryQuoted: An SDR receiver or any scanner that covers 118-136 and 225-400 with AM. Most cover 118-136. Most of the newer ones do both. I have a TACO 225-400 antenna up at about 25' and a DPD Productions log periodic broadband. I'm using an Airspy R2 SDR, RSP DUO dual receiver SDR and a BCD786XLT among others. Thanks, I have a 10 year old Uniden digital scanner around here somewhere. Might try to dig it out and listen. |

So we are sided with the Ukraine in this proxy war with Russia. China is aligned with Russia. There is a 3400 page thread on this here. And yet we are to believe that this balloon is somehow benign? WTF
