(meteorobs) Siddhartha, Dead channels or a change in frequency?

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Siddhartha,

Here are a few short specimen radio reflections of the SNOTEL 
transmitter as .mp3 files.
Received at 40.530 MHz CW  using half wave dipole cut for that frequency.

Stereo meteor :  tv channel 3 video carrier at 61.250 MHz right channel 
/ SNOTEL left channel

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please feel free to ask.

Clear skies,
