(meteorobs) Radio Meteor question -interference over US???
Hello Observers;
Please reply private email.
Question:
Is there any type of Sporadic E, Tropo effects messing the atmosphere
over the eastern sea board?
Reason I ask I am getting a very strong picture sync on 83.25 MHz that is
what I use to detect meteors ( Ch.6 TV ) and it is even on the -offset
of 83.24 MHz and steady on +offset at 83.26 MHz.
I called our Dept.of Communications and they don't know anything but said
there is NO channel 6 here in Halifax, only 3,4,5,7,11,13 on regular
channels and of course our cable.
I have read and re-read articles on this meteor stuff but they never tend
to say "If you hear this type of noise..dot it's..atmosphere..manmade ,,ect"
Any info on what I should hear to tell me that there is atmosphere
problems would be nice.
I can tune to 20 MHz and hear WWV and that is with my receiver still
connected to the cavity filter!!!
Thanks in advance...info on what I use below..
