We're just a bit west of the approach to KRNO 17R. A/C normally land
south and I can just barely discern doppler spreading on 40 m on the P3
at 4 kHz span. Last winter when there was FTx on 10, the spreading was
more pronounced. I guess Christian Andreas Doppler would tell me ... "Duh!"

Andy,
My observations here are consistent with yours -- I regularly see
Doppler on either side of a signal, sometimes even both sides, which
would be consistent with multiple aircraft. And without Doppler, I
always see low level sidebands on locals that are approximately
symmetrical with the P3/SVGA cranked to minimum span. Last season,
Trey and I were seeing a neighbor being much wider than normal. Trey
went to his shack to help him figure it out while I watched on the P3.
It was coming from his Expert amp, and we managed a modest
improvement. If I'm remembering correctly, he was running the amp on
the low voltage setting.

The aircraft that can be expected to cause Doppler shifted reflection
in the Phoenix Class B airspace are transport aircraft following
Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival
Route (STAR) routings. My QTH is about a mile from a KPHX STAR
(BRUSR ONE). On a busy day with winds out of the East they go by at
about one per minute. As they approach from the North I would expect
reflections with a higher frequency. After they pass and move to the
South I would expect reflections with a lower frequency. With
multiple aircraft following the same route I would expect a mix of
reflected signal frequencies spread on each side of the transmitted
signal frequency.
