(meteorobs) May Camelopardalid plans

[Samuel Barricklow]

Paul,

At least one of the two transmitters must not be too far away since you are picking up aircraft reflections.  

However, on the 2 meter band, I have worked stations in southern Kansas by reflecting signals off of aircraft passing over Oklahoma.  So, the aircraft would have to have been within line of sight at both locations, unless tropospheric bending allowed the use of aircraft beyond “normal” line of sight.

I do not know where the two analog TV stations are.... there is a prominent carrier that produces lots of meteors, and there is a second much weaker carrier that also produces meteors.  The two transmitters seem to be very widely spaced (possibly in opposite directions from me), as I rarely see coincident meteors on both.  I feel very lucky to still have both of these transmitters available ;)
