(meteorobs) Pilot carriers for meteor scatter

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Jan 19, 2013

Some years ago I did experiment with a pilot carrier waves that 
broadcast at 54.309 MHz USB.

Since I am still getting strong meteor scatter from Mexico I didn't 
experiment with pilot carriers any further.

But I just tuned into 54.309 MHz USB on both my meteor radios and am 
getting consistent meteor pings at 7:30 am Saturday morning. It is not 
as strong as my regular Mexican tv video carriers but it is useable for 
data it looks like.

Also just tested 54.310 MHz USB is producing pings.

Maybe some of you folks could check out these frequencies in your area 
and report findings here.  Thanks in advance if you do.
