What Antenna Do You Need For Meteor Scatter?
In my amateur radio and short wave listening blog called 'Listening' I have been writing about how signals at VHF can be scattered by meteors as they race across the sky.
This is a fascinating series of posts which appears each Friday and today is the third such post and it's about antennas.
The antenna is the most important part of the radio setup. Yes, I really mean that because if you can't receive the signal from your antenna then, no matter how good your receiver, you won't hear the station!
Meteor scatter is not hard to do but you do need to know what frequency to use and what sort of antenna to have. This has been a good series of posts so far and there is still at least one more post to come so have a read and see if it interests you.
