(meteorobs) Meteors heard on DTV!

[Michael Boschat]

Moerning all:


 Well,  1st I am waiting arrival of a new Icom R20 receiver too replace my aging R10!


Ok, I   ***** HAVE **** to use the notch filter I have no matter what.    That being said,


I looked at the video that was posted - and jotted down the DTV frequencies.  I set my self at 82.3095 MHz ( Ch.6 )

and here in Nova Scotia according to that FCC site we have the following:  1 Digital transmitter and 1 analogue

in the same location about 150 Km from me here in Halifax to my SW.  Also there is a transmiytter in New Brunswick

digital also about 200 km or so a bit NW.


So I have 2 digital and 1 analogue.



I tuned to 82.3095 MHz in CW mode at 4 am and detected 8 short underdense meteors - I listen to the radio.   In an hour

and now at 5:40am ADT heard another one.



 So, I am happy that I can detect at least something on our DTV here.



This is my set up I use: I just changed the frequency for today...
