(meteorobs) Weekend Sporadics Meteors Radio Detection

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Raydel,

You may be in luck.  I learned there is a powerful SCAN master 
transmitter in Stoneville, Mississippi which is about 860 miles from 
your location. It should provide you with a constant signal.

The remote stations are weak and only broadcast at the top of the hour 
for a few minutes.

Good luck.

Thomas
