Re: (meteorobs) Many radio meteors - anyone else hearing them?
Hello Michael Boschat: I'm interested in what type receiver you are using
for radio meteor detection? Here in Houston, Texas I am using a PCR1000 ham
radio receiver that has a range from 100KHz to 1300 MHz. I am using the CW
mode and am tuned to 77.24 MHz, the TV video (-) to the east of my location.
I usually listen early in the morning and late in the afternoon. I haven't
been keeping track of the count but the past few mornings sounded typical. I
not only listen but look at the audio using an oscilloscope. Typical peak to
peak noise runs around 0.5 volts. At the time of a ping or bong the noise
becomes a periodic wave momentarily. Recently I have been counting these
O-scope waves if they are 1.0 volt peak to peak or more and the typical
count is about one a minute.
