Elsewhere in this issue, you'll find a Natural Radio Mac-software
Project to improve by all Inspire members, as well as any Researcher
involved in our field. Now I' d like propose one more step ahead
in our activity. It is related to a standardization of our tools,
the ones we use to investigate in the field. The goal is use the
same instruments to give more strength to our recording: same
receivers, antenna, ground, tapes and any other tool we use. After
some years past to understand the same methodology, its time to
propose the same tools.
As you can understand some random recording sessions, are unable
to really investigate Natural Radio phenomenon at all. The VLF/ULF
propagation system for itself still need a better way to work
from us (if we really want understand something more, for our
research and our pleasure). So its time to be supplied with better
instruments. And its also time to monitor a group of instruments
who let us use a logical standardization of our instruments. We
can't use different receivers, antennas, magnetic tape, recorder
and then think to compare our recording. Probably a serious research
do not allows this way to work. I believe that the first step
of Inspire are gone, everybody has improved his way, his research.
Surely most of us have had time to go more in dept with his research
and it is logical that most of us would like improve our job for
Inspire and for ourself. I strongly believe that also a specialized
software should be extremely important for decoding the Natural
Radio Emissions and hope you would be kind enough to read the
other article of mine, where I talk about what I believe how it
should works. All of you could improve the ideas of mine with
some more very welcome stuff.
I believe now is time to choose: Bill Pine, Bill Taylor and some
more Inspire high members, could help us to choose 3-5 tools for
each item. Then our lab test have to choose after done an on street
test over every tools. We'll have to test the best receiver (The
Inspire one)/antenna couple, too, and the best couple between
the tape and the recorder for our goals, since sometime the best
instrument for, say, record a music song, is not as good as another
for VLF/ULF. So the work is not easy and fast, but I think has
to be done for the best results. Most of us are in Inspire since
many years, its right that want to upgrade our instruments and
ourselves, but this can be done only studying and working hard.
No one other can do that for us.
Standard instruments and package-software create just for Natural
Radio: a very bright future is waiting for us.
