(meteorobs) Meteororbs meteors 50MHZ beacons in North America

[drobnock]

Hi Jodie, not certain who your comments are addressed to... I have an
amateur license. I am offering suggestions for possible low frequency
VHF transmitter to be used for radio meteors. As there are Amateur VHF
propagation beacons in service, maybe they can be used.. This
suggestion  about using beacons has been on this site before.
Please review:
