A meteor scatter uses the reflection of radio waves from an ionized track, Leonidy, A meteor scatter uses the reflection of radio waves from an ionized track. The swarm is active from 6. until November 30 2020 with a predicted maximum on 16/17 November. The swarm consists mainly of larger particles moving at speed 71 km/s.
Different types of distribution are possible on VHF, what you can read in the older, but still a current OM7AQ article Basics of VHF / VHF operation . Meteor scatter (MS) operation is popular with VHF HAMs. Computer assistance is usually used, but better equipped stations are able to work both CW and SSB. A boom meteor scatter brought the program WSJT by Joe Taylor, but many stations are working now MSK144.
The best connection times for these directions are: SW - ST: 01 – 05 OUT, V – Z: 04 – 07 OUT, JV - SZ: 06 -09 UT a S – J: 23 – 03 a 07 – 11 OUT. We wish you a pleasant visual observation as well as many interesting experiments with meteor scatter!
