Danny,
Check out :
http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/snow/
and navigate various information options.
There is not a lot of detailed meteor reception info since it is not a
meteor monitoring project. Rather, they use meteor burst communications
for their environmental data collection. I got the frequencies directly
from the project manager.
SNOTEL is accessible in western North America and I think SCAN monitors
are accessible in the east or midwest. Not sure about the SCAN network
since it is out of my own range.
