(meteorobs) Can I get RADAR Receiver

[Michael Boschat]

Hi All:

> But I strongly encourage your NAVSPASUR.

 I'm at my limit here in Halifax,Nova Scotia,Canada N44 W63. I;ve beeen using
64.25 MHz since 1998 but as we all went digital TV there are very few
stations using analogue and I do still hear meteors but rates are 0 to 20
per/hour if lucky.

1) I would like to know if I can pick up this radar up here?

2) Any other frequencies I can use?

Note, I live in an apartment bldg.. and am limited to putting antennas up ..
I'm lucky to have been able to put a pole up and have the antenna clearthe
overhang, but anything bigger...doubtful.

 My system:

Hgt: 58 meters above sea level
Listening Frequency: 67.24 MHz
Receiver: Icom R-10
Antenna : resonant dipole
Antenna Direction: Horizontally polarized with lobes in E-W plane,
        elev 0 deg
Filter  : high-Q (Q at least 300) bandpass filter between antenna &
          receiver.
Listening Mode: CW
Recording method: listening by ear



Clear skies
