Tell us more about your receiver and antenna. I use a IC7000 and a 3
element beam aimed up 45 deg. Feed that to a computer sound card and fftdsp
software. Take a look at http:\\www.directcondot net\normd\meteor.htm. Your
will find some examples of the output. I use the picture carrier freqs of
TV channels 2,4,5 as they are over 100 miles away. I'm sure you will hear
from others hear that use other setups.
