Jim, to what extent is the equipment for this type of monitoring accessible
to the amateur who is just starting out or unsure of their commitment to
radio meteor monitoring? Translated: how much of the required equipment for
carrier wave scatter monitoring is available at Radio Shack for under $100? :)

Thanks also for the SARA reference! I didn't know of this organization,
