Hi Jay,

Good luck with your progress.

I am sure you know this but if you are within a few hundred miles 
proximity to Mexico you should be able to receive Mexican analog tv 
station scatter. Meteor scatter methods produce infinitely more 
reflections at lower than 100 MHz.  Analog tv carriers broadcast at 
55.250 , 61.250. 67.250. 77.250 and 83.250 MHz.  To do this requires 
something like ICOM pcr1000 radio which can be purchased on ebay for 
$200 to $300.

But I strongly encourage your NAVSPASUR work and look forward to hearing 
about your progress.

Clear skies,
Thomas Ashcraft in New Mexico
