Within the group and others who read the snippets on the meteorobs for
listening to meteors, a few questions about their method(s) for
detecting or receiving very low frequency meteor signatures.

1. Antenna or aerial used.
    a. long wire.
    b. loop (number of turns)
    c. whip
    d. other

1a.  If a loop strongest direction signatures are received
        a.  broadside
        b.  narrow side

2. Receiver used.
    a. commercial build including military surplus.
    b. home construction.
        1. pre amp only.
        2. pre amp with additional stages.
        3. fully tuned stages with a pre amp
        4. Other
    c. Computer with sound card.
    d. other

3. Recording method
    a. analogue (tape)
    b. digital flash memory
    c. other

4. Antenna or aerial location
    a. inside
    b. outside
    c. urban location
            1. apartment
            2. park
    d. rural
    e. other

5. Specific frequency your receiver is tuned. If your  frequency range
would be ploted as a bell curve,  what is the centre frequency.

6. Comments?

I am sending this to see if there is a standard or just a random seat of
the pants observation pattern to detecting meteor electromagnetic noise.
