(meteorobs) Frequencies no go.

[Raydel Abreu (CM2ESP)]

Hello Michael,

My current system here in Havana is a horizontal half-wave dipole at one
quarter wave above my roof, nice meteors. But Cuba is too far for you. Are
you using horizontal or vertical polarization at your dipole? Vertical
polarization antennas have a null point at zenith.

Raydel,
Havana, Cuba.
