About this image

RSGB have set up a 6m beacon https://ukmeteorbeacon.org/Tx GB3MBA

This is located at the Sherwood Observatory 53d 06m 51s N 1d 13m 20s W

This is well placed for my location to observe high altitude meteor scatter. (radio signal reflecting off ionised trails)

A radio reciever tuned to 50.408Mhz and with a suitable antenna is used to feed into a soundcard and FFT software (Spectrumlab or similar) used to analyse the audio signal.
