(meteorobs) Weekend Sporadics Meteors Radio Detection

[Raydel Abreu (CM2ESP)]

Hi Thomas,

Checking on a map i found there is also two return sites in Florida which
may be at 400 to 500 km (around 200 miles or more). As you mention before
return sites run only 100 watss. But right now i am using VOR stations at
114 MHz running also at 100 watts. 41.61 MHz shouls reflect a meteor trail
a lot better than 114 MHz so perhaps that´s an option.

Does the low power return sites are operational continuosly or only
transmits when are interogated by master stations.

Thanks,

Raydel
