Hello Raydel 

Meteor Scatter reception from a NAVSPASUR site is limited to 350 Miles,
besides it is supposed to be turned off soon. A 100 Watt, 110 MHz Beacon may
work for you if you are at an optimum distance, too close and Forwardscatter
will interfere, too far and Backscatter will be too weak or too close to the
horizon.

After browsing for more information perhaps i may try also the Lake Jordan
system which forms part of the NAVSPASUR system, i guess that transmitter
has less power but is as twice as close, does anyone know anything about
that one, is it still transmitting on which frequency???

Thanks again,

Raydel

Hello Bob,

Thank you for your help. Using Mexico TV transmitters is not an option. Here
in Cuba there is also the NTCS analogue system, and at my location there
active the channels 2, 4 and 6, channels 3 and 5 are full of splatters
because i live quite close to the transmission center.

I can go up in frequency to NAVSPASUR but i don't know if there is chance to
receive any meteor, i am at 1900km from Kickapoo, how far are you from
there?

I ran across with two VOR transmitters at Florida which are at 400km running
100 watts and 3dBi antennas, on 110 MHz more or less, do you know if this
power is enough?

Thanks,

Raydel
