Bottom: Spectral overview 45 MHz - 870 MHz shows tremendous DBV-T and FM-signals with up to 50 dB above receiver noise level.
Just one small quiet gap in VHF band can be used for astronomical observations.

Almost 24h coverage with e-Callisto

By now, we have almost 24h of coverage. Ellipses represent roughly the antenna beam of the individual stations.
Red: working stations with significant science data contribution
Orange: installed stations with no significant science data yet.
Purple: further requests for a spectrometer
