(meteorobs) receiving strong frequent RADAR returns

[Jay Salsburg]

Here is a frame from my space RADAR receiver of the burst of activity. While
not that impressive, it got my attention because it was near noon. The frame
is only 3 minutes long but has two high amplitude reports, moving at very
high velocity, no doubt because the Earth was moving in a direction parallel
to the ground. I just figured out the time signatures on the display. The
crawl is an hour ahead, I adjusted it to -6 instead of -5 as it is in this
capture frame.

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.
