(meteorobs) Pilot carriers for meteor scatter

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Jim,

Data is collected consistently by RMOB, the Radio Meteor Observers Bulletin.
See :  http://www.rmob.org/index.php

The IMO, International Meteor Organization has a radio information 
section, too :
http://www.imo.net/radio

Maybe others as well?

The data is important in the science and often detects outbreaks that 
are not visually observable.

Thomas
