(meteorobs) Radio Forward Scatter

[Jeff Brower]

Micahel,

Ch 6 video carriers are at 83.250 (zero offset), or at 83.260 (plus  
offset) or at 83.240 MHz (negative offset) all in USB or CW mode --  
not FM.  Or are you trying to listen for wide band FM audio for Ch 6  
at 86.240 MHz? Just wanted to make sure you knew we use video carriers  
which is down from the audio channel on TV. I'm recording lots of  
echoes from SK and AB Canada as I type on 83.260 MHz.

Regards,

Jeff
