Hello Folks

Despite my best and very prolonged efforts we have not found a site in Scotland for our third primary receiver. Before I give up can anyone help ?

What is needed is a reasonably radio quiet site with no nearby 6 m transmissions, with power, (10 W or less) and an internet connection. The data stream is about the same as an audio stream so not excessive. Ideally the site would be a minimum of 200km North of the beacon which is located near Mansfield 53.10N, 1.22W.

?An astronomy society with? a dark sky observing site would be ideal. We would need someone local who is radio "savvy" to check the site and help with installation.? A locally sourced mast of 3 or 4m would be handy but we can supply all other materials.? We are trying to achieve a range? of different reflection geometries for each meteor event. When we can make observations from a sufficient number of? different directions it may be possible, by using Doppler measurements, to calculate the trajectory and hence radiant of the meteor.

In the mean time we are working towards capturing and recording echoes from the receivers in the network together with precision timing so that events viewed from different directions can be correlated with precision.
