From 8am Thursday July 5th to 2am Saturday July 7th (EDT) the clear frequency search functionality was disabled on three SuperDARN radars. The purpose of this fixed frequency experiment was to allow Bright Zheng, a local high school student, to listen for the radar transmit pulses using a shortwave amateur radio.

On Friday July 6th at 12:32pm (EDT) Bright was able to hear pulses transmitted by the Fort Hays East and Blackstone radars over a range of about 20 kHz.
