Hi:
I'm not sure how to answer this question put to me but another observer asked
if listening to radio meteors if it was possible to determine their magnitude?
Example a -1 meteor would it be louder or fainter in volume?
All I know, correct me if I'm wrong is the speed of the meteor making a
longer echo on the radio. A slow meteor will give a longer echo while
a fast meteor will give a short echo.
