I would like to listen for the HAARP signal but I can't figure out how to
set my ORION 1 to the general coverage mode! If the info is in the manual
it must be very obscure?

> submitting reports. On January 19, listen on 6.7925 MHz from 0500-0600
> UTC, and on 7.4075 MHz from 0600-0700 UTC. On January 20, listen on
> 6.7925 MHz from 0630-0730 UTC, and on 7.4075 MHz from 0730-0830 UTC
> (depending on frequency occupancy at the time of operation, it may be
> necessary to adjust the frequency slightly). Based on previous

> lunar echoes with a standard communications receiver and a simple 40
> meter dipole antenna. The format for the transmissions will follow a
> five second cycle beginning on the hour and repeating continuously. The
> HAARP transmitter will transmit for the first two seconds. The next
> three seconds will be quiet to listen for the lunar echo. Then HAARP
> will transmit again for two seconds, repeating the cycle for one hour.
> In the second hour, this five second repetitive cycle will be repeated
> at a different frequency. All transmissions from HAARP will be CW (no
> modulation). Depending on ionospheric conditions, it may or may not be
> possible to hear the HAARP transmission directly via skywave
> propagation. Since HAARP will not be using any modulation, set your
> receiver on to CW mode to hear HAARP and the lunar echo. Investigators
> are interested in receiving signal reports from radio amateurs who may
> be able to detect -- or not detect-- the lunar echo or the transmitted
> skywave pulse from HAARP. Submit reports via e-mail, and list your call
> sign and the type and location of your receiving equipment and antennas.
