Peter Madison, aka 'Mac Peters' from Radio City, told of a French/Irish experiment of great interest to all Anoraks. The results of the 2003 experiment are below. It will be repeated in 2004.
Most
electronic communications scientists and RF engineers will tell you that,
as space is infinite, radio signals go on and on, out through the Ionosphere
into outer space and therefore into infinity. This basic theory is fine –
but how many radio signals have been sent out over the years and been monitored
by ALL the intended listeners? The answer is none. All the radio waves ever
since Marconi are out there as sure as an X-File truth.
Recent experiments by French radio astronomers in association with amateurs
here in the West of Ireland have proved an astounding new theory. Radio signals
that were originally transmitted within the last 40 years, at over 400 watts,
are striking asteroids and bouncing back to Earth.
The diagram
(left) illustrates how the LIFRA-Loop deflects radio signals back to Earth.
From different locations on a line, a particular range of stations can be
heard.
The "Loupe Inverte Radio Frequencie Asteroides" (LIRFA loop) is a magnetised
belt above the Clarke Belt. The broadcasts are reaching the loop as a positive
(+) force and are repelled as negative (-) signals, back to their area of
origin at a quarter of their original wavelength or frequency. (NegaHertz.)
When our early pioneer radio engineers invented the quarter-wave dipole they
were unwittingly creating the ideal antenna for reception of signals from
the past.
The
French side of the team has erected 26 different dipoles of varying lengths
and coded them with the phonetic letters of the alphabet. At the Irish end we
have had excellent results on much simpler aerials, and on very strong signals
even the telescopic whip of a portable short wave receiver is working very well.
The only difficulty is in researching the exact time of day that the programmes
were transmitted but it is a simple matter to divide the original frequency
by four.
