From Slashdot: A French amateur radio operator who built his own ground station using equipment from an abandoned telecom uplink site has listened in on the ESA's Mars Express space probe. While his antenna is too small to allow him to download actual data, he was able to record and convert the signal of the probe's X-Band transmitter into an audio file."
Amazing considering that this signal was generated on Mars Express by a transmitter only slightly more powerful than a light bulb. This tiny signal travelled over 100 million kilometres and was picked up by Bertrand with his 3.5m dish ok - so its not a WISP signal... but makes me wonder what actually happens if someone is listening elsewhere to all those urls i visit via the wifi ;-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
