(meteorobs) SNOTEL/SCAN - further info for radio meteor observers

[Raydel Abreu (CM2ESP)]

That's very interesting!!!

Thank you for the info Jay, and i sorry not answer sooner.

Two months ago i do copy a moon reflection just with a dipole!!! That's
very interesting, but i couldn't get the materials to build a higher
antenna and listen to satellites. I have just build the elements and i only
have missing the boom or support, i hope to finally end the antenna
construction by the next week. It's so sad it is going to go off line soon,
it is a source of pretty interesting experiments!!!

All the best,

Raydel
