OK. I used a Comet SB-15 antenna, 1/4 wave at 6m, into an
airspy mini. Captured 60 GB at 3 Msps. Got a lot of noise
at least. I have yet to see any signal in there.
Perhaps my antenna array is a few thousand elements shy of
what's needed.

I am surprised - no 49 Mhz baby monitors in my neighborhood anymore?!
Times they are a changin'
