Similar to an SMS phishing attempt I received on Sunday purporting to be concerned with an Evri delivery. In that case a whois lookup showed the domain had been created 2hrs before the message was sent.

@freemo I should have been clear, I mean added sugar, not the naturally occurring sugars. Tomato is a fruit so, yes, natural sugar. Manufacturers of processed foods tend to add sugar.

@freemo Added sugar. In addition to naturally occurring in the fruit.

@freemo
Manufactured pasta sauces with a tomato base will, typically, include sugar.
I make my own, no sugar.

@freemo
Sugar?

There is a specific case where WSPR & aircraft are a thing, that is reflecting VHF band transmissions to improve the propagation distance.
But that isn’t what ‘GDTAAA’ is about. It looks for a spot that shows a statistical anomaly. Then there’s a ‘decision’ as to whether that’s due short path, long path, or various combinations of reflection. Of course, the WSPR DB records no timing metadata to discriminate that.

Everything gets repeated from the prime proponent’s website, via an aviation blogger/commentator in WA. He appears an expert in placing copy on desks of gullible editors. Mostly effective to trace the press release placement/distribution.
Perfect example of hype over fact.

@simonzerafa @bloor
It’s a guess.
Guided by predictions of a flight path using other known information.
The first ‘test’ was a total fail - the target aircraft was allegedly tracked to Melbourne. However, it landed at Perth (after crossing the Indian Ocean from Jo’burg).

I’d need to review my notes. I likely commented about it at mh370.radiantphysics.com.
A number of individuals have experimented with techniques to detect reflections of HF by aircraft. It was only possible with very high powered transmitters, and within very limited range of the transmitter and aircraft. A secondary problem was the reflection was subject to doppler, to an extent that a WSPR receiver could not possibly demod/decode a reflection.
It’s an exercise in maintaining relevance, abetted by a small number of similarly minded individuals.

@simonzerafa @bloor ADS-C is typically involves reports every 15mins (C = contract, the contracted reporting period may vary, ANSP to ANSP). The reports are generated by the FMS using its inertial source, at very worst a few 100m from GNSS.
The ‘author’ alleged that he’d tracked a QF B787 from Sth Africa to Aus. Cross referencing what his WSPR mining had divined to ADS-C reports, errors in ‘4D’. IIRC it was about 50nm.

@bloor
A number of posts at mh370.radiantphysics.com deal with the topic.

@ben @bloor
Not sure how Maskell/UoL can be regarded as independent review as Maskell is noted as co-author to the proponent’s most recent four ‘papers’.

unWise has a particular style of delivery!
