(meteorobs) Radio head echo of a fast meteor

[Thomas Ashcraft]

I am happy to report that after the 2009 switchover from analog tv 
transmission to digital tv transmission here in the USA that there are 
still some analog transmitters out there usable for forward scatter 
radio observation.

Here is a fast meteor, a possible sporadic (or maybe a December Leonis 
Minorid ?) with a nice head echo in stereo with two radios. One radio is 
tuned to 55.250 MHz CW and the other is tuned to 61.250 MHz CW.  The 
full radio reflections from the ionization were long lasting and I only 
included the initial head echoes in this short movie.

Same movie but choice of formats:
