(meteorobs) My radio meteor problem

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Mark,
   
  Thanks for that info on sporadic E. 
   
  Regarding lowband VHF.....do you mean 50-54 MHz carriers will transform to HD? Do you think they will wait until 2009 or has the conversion started already? I was pondering setting my ICOM R-75 up with a yagi for those frequencies.  
   
  I did a lot of forward scatter work at 88-107 MHz FM frequencies in the late 1990s but the FM dial got too full of stations with few useable vacancies. It kept getting tougher to do radio meteor work.

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. The analog TV signals on low band VHF
channels are going to go away in 2009. FCC is mandating that stations
transition to "HD". The analog signals will be no more.
