(meteorobs) receiving strong frequent RADAR returns

[James H Van Prooyen]

Hi All

Can you give me a set of time's when these event occurred?

I monitor the VLF (Very Low Frequency) in the Great Lakes area 
of North America, large bolides (fireball's) produce a null in the 
VLF data sets lasting a number of minutes. This data may be 
used fix a time for any such event (but not a location).

Thanks

Jay and Paul, 

I went on to the SpaceWeather site immediately after I saw your report. The site allows anyone to listen to real-time radar over Texas. I can confirm that I was also hearing returns at well over one-a-minute, mostly short, but occasionally much longer whistles. Clearly something was going on.

Yes, Thank you Paul

The rate dropped off after a short while, I get excited when there is a burst of activity.

Not seeing that frequency, but I am seeing/hearing occasional fairly long and strong returns here in Detroit, on 55.259MHz (USB).  About one every five minutes, with smaller ones interspersed.  That is considerably up from the normal "background" frequency and return strength.
