Since 50MHz propagation seemed enhanced last night I tuned my
receiver and spectrogram to the ATSC channel 2 video carrier
frequency minus 1KHz and actually saw some meteors. They were
infrequent and faint (maybe an order of magnitude or more below the
level I see on the analog channel 2 frequencies), but they were
definitely there along with an occasional overdense trace. This
afternoon, they are EXTREMELY faint. I am assuming that the ATSC
video carrier is nowhere near as powerful as the analog carrier
was. That, or the closest transmitter to me is a very long ways away.
