True....and even tho much meteor-scatter radio work is in the lower VHF part
of the spectrum, try locking your VHF receiver or weather radio onto a NWS
station channel, or an FM radio to a frequency setting, that is normally
silent in your area. Try this during the Geminids....and with you while
viewing the sky if possible. You may hear a sudden and brief burst of
activity on that otherwise silent spot on the dial - and it may coincide
visually with a meteor and its tail that you can see.
Any of this, of course, will be dependent on angle of incident, direction,
and event duration.
