(meteorobs) Meteororbs meteors 50MHZ beacons in North America

[Jay Salsburg]

This kind of project is on my plate. I have access to an isolated Farm 36
miles South-southwest of my location which will not interfere with any
terrestrial receivers. I have worked out the Antenna design for 50 MHz/100
watts, plus the site has reliable power.

 

It should be prudent to create an Array of Transmitters to achieve
multi-scatter detection. The Call Letter sequencer is very clever. It would
be even cleverer to sequence them as a pulse array but that would probably
too expensive and not be allowed for Amateur transmission.

 

Count me in.

Part 2. 

This was posted 28 July 2011 

As analogue signals are now antiquated for modern communications and 
meteor scatter hunting,  a thought is for those within the group having 
amateur radio license to set up a series of beacons using 10 (28mhz) and 
6 (50 mhz) metre wave length to set up a radio beacon farm of 6 to 8 
transmitters in a geometric form cell. The transmitters would be limited 
to 50 to 200 watts, thirty (40 Km) or so miles apart and transmit a CW 
series of letters with station identification. 

The range may be limited to a specific region, or maybe available to a 
larger group of listeners

A suggestion. The FCC allows experimental licensing. It may be possible for
a
group of Radio Meteor Observers to make application for one or more beacons
in
North America.
