For radio meteor folks:
I am getting definite meteors at 40.670 MHz CW on the new SNOTEL master
transmitter frequency. If my old communication with the SNOTEL manager
is correct then SCAN is now also using 40.670 MHz CW as master
transmitter and 41.61 MHz CW as the remote station return.
I am monitoring SNOTEL ( Snowpack telemetry) from north central New
Mexico in the southwest USA to transmitters located in Idaho. Meteor
reception rates are not strong but definitely evident.
So, I guess folks should be tuning to 40.670 MHz CW. Note that the
meteor reflection sound is not like an analog tv signal ping. Rather,
SNOTEL sounds like this:
