(meteorobs) Question on CW and USB for radio meteor

[Lawrence Lopez]

tell us more.

what kind of receiver ?
What frequency >
does it have different bandwidth for cw and ssb ?
how far away were the stations before and
how far away are the stations now ?
What software are you using.

CW on ham radio usually has a limited bandwidth.
SSB has to have a wider bandwidth (2 to 3 KHz).
FM has different wide bandwidths depending on usage.

I'm pretty sure you want BFO so that the transmitted
carrier shows up as a tone in the received signal.
