Robert,
If you read al the reactions you got you know the answer already :-)
Overhere in europe we use a 49Mhz dedicated beacon. You can try find something like that.
the best reflections you get are between 50 and 70 Mhz. Higher frequencies give shorter and less powerfull signals but can be used very wel.
Try to find some radioamateur beaconfrequencies (on the internet) in the 50 and 70Mhz band en listen for a while. We where able to hear an amateurradiobeacon at 50.064 Mhz (over 800km) with a output power of max 50w.
just try and find the best option for you.
greetings,
Marc

Thanks for the info. I also heard that you can use a regular FM radio tuned between two stations. Can you comment on this?

Hi Robert,
you NEED an antenna to observe meteors by radio.
You couldt try a vertical one, but the results depends on the distance and/or power of the transmitter you listening to.
Try to find a place on your balcony or attic (if possible) to place your antenna and find a usable transmitter.
You van use any radio with a cw of ssb possibility (Icom pcr 1000, 1500 of 2500, Rc 10/20 or R75, Kenwood R1000 etc)
good luck,
Marc Neijts

Hi,
I am interested in either purchasing or building a simple receiver to detect meteorites falling to earth.
I live in an apartment and cannot set up a dipole or yagi antenna.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
regards,
Robert Weisbloom
