(meteorobs) To radio meteor observers

[Thomas Ashcraft]

To radio meteor observers:


I am looking for any anomalous radio observations at any frequency  for
June 1 at around 0428 UT.  I am wondering if there was sporadic E or
anything else out of the ordinary anywhere in the world?

The reason I ask is that I received a solar burst at 0428 in New Mexico at
18.7 MHz  that happened when the Sun was 2 hours and 15 minutes below the
local hoizon, 10:28 pm MDT.    Normally the  Sun is not receivable below
the horizon.  So maybe there was a strange ionospheric configuration that
allowed this reception?  Or something else?


Meteor-wise:  I just remembered that we are entering sporadic E season in
the northern hemisphere.  Just a ponderance but I have always wondered if
the Earth enters an annual  sub-visible metallic/meteoritic dust cloud
around now wherein the possible metallic dust particles arrange along
magnetic field lines and thus make dynamic propagation properties.   ??
