(meteorobs) Quadrantid radio reflections - New Mexico

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Thanks for that paper with specimens Jean-Louis. 

The past two days I have been using the Quadrantids to help me find and tune into useful scatter transmitters here in the west/southwest US. It looks like I can pick up some DTV pilot carriers which actually show good definition of C and epsilon meteor reflections. I have two radios/antennas oriented west northwest and I can get a simultaneous multi-radio view point with some potential doppler information.  

Here is a link to a spectrogram of my current reception from a few minutes ago. -  Thomas

  Hi Thomas
 
 The meteor reflections shapes have no final explanations at the moment, AFAIK.
 
 Have a look at slides 13 & 14 of http://www.imo.net/imc2010/talks/Rault.pdf to see some thoughts about these intriguing C and Epsilon signatures.
 
 Best regards

  Just a note to say I have been receiving many many "epsilon" signature radio reflections during the peak of the Quadrantid meteor shower this morning. 
  I think the "epsilon" shape of reflection is still somewhat of a mystery?  ??
  
  Also, I lost my strong  Mexican analog tv transmitters but am now tuned into TV pilot carrier signals at 54.309 MHz and 76.309 MHz. Getting a good stream of meteors. 
  Clear skies, Thomas Ashcraft
