 Geoff Wolfe,

	I thought you might like these comments from Dr. Rob Suggs, who
has been operating a TV channel meteor radar continuously for several
years.  http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/nasameteorradar.html

Wes,

I listened to the 2006, 2005 and one of the 2004 files and I'll bet some
of those are due to aircraft.  One lasts over a minute and has some of
the flutter frequency changes you get with aircraft reflections.  That
is very long for an overdense echo at 90 MHz. I didn't hear any doppler
and am not sure how you would hear that with an FM receiver anyway.

Nice music.

Rob

Hi all

I'm posting this again as I didn't see it come up in the digests.

Hi Everyone

My FM Tuner recordings of persistant trains (forward scatter) during the
Leonids meteor shower are now available online for free download. Note
that these mp3s are encoded at 320k bitrate for high quality, so the
files are quite large (usually 6 - 11mb). I recommend broadband internet
access for these.

It will give you an Australian perspective of the Leonids : )

Highlights are from 1998 - 2006. I hope you will really enjoy these.
Some are even in STEREO. Some trains even have a dopple whistle at the
start. The Leonids of 2001 produced quite a few of these.

HeHe - I hope you like classical music! I used a distant ABC Classic FM
transmitter for monitoring. In some cases I ran 2 or 3 tuners in
parallel to capture the trains on more than one frequency.

Please email me privately for any comments.
Much Thanks to Chris Mackerell in New Zealand for hosting these.
