If someone is interested, the Audubon Society is trying to track bird migrations by attaching radio tracking equipment to birds.<\/p>\n
Message:<\/p>\n
I coordinate an Audubon Conservation Program involving a small bird that roosts in chimneys.\u00a0 In early Sept we hope to capture six of them in Yakima WA and attach small radio transmitters.\u00a0 We release them immediately and attempt to pick up their signals in the following days at the major known roost sites to the west and south.\u00a0 We have a known roost site near Richardson Bay.\u00a0 Any chance you could put me in contact with someone with a scanner who would be interested in being involved in this project?<\/p>\n
We’re having the .5 gram transmitters made up for us by ATS.
\nFrequencies are:\u00a0 159.100
\n159.200
\n159.300
\n159.400
\n159.500
\n159.600
\n24 ppm.
\nTechnical Specifications
\nCrystal controlled 2-stage
\n\u00b12.5kHz
\n\u00b12.5kHz, -20oC to 40oC
\nTypical on time 15ms, off time 1.5-4.0sec (controlled by astable circuit) 5%\/volt, \u00b1 20% for temperatures -20oC to +40oC<\/p>\n
This should be exciting if we can pull this off.<\/p>\n
