<h1>Perseids meteor scatter tests on 28 MHz</h1>
<p>The Pereids meteor shower peaks this weekend and <strong>Andy G0FTD</strong> is now carrying out some QRSS FSK/CW tests on 28,000,900 MHz<br><br>He writes: <br><br>I have a QRP (approx 200 mw) transmitter GPS locked on 28,000,900MHz that will be operating until about August 14 whilst the Perseids meteor shower is with us. <br>
<br>It transmits a simple QRSS FSK/CW signal with 6 second dots. Antenna is a full wave quad loop at 10m AGL. This should provide an opportunity for people to try meteor scatter reception. Of course, this doesn't stop the signal being received via sporadic E or the F-layer, but QRP meteor scatter tests are its prime objective.<br>
<br>Although the Perseids seem to be building up quite nicely now, the actual peak is this weekend. I have been monitoring two useful website for meteor detection that may also be of interest to readers :<br><br>1) <a href="http://www.tvcomm.co.uk/radio/live.html" target="_blank">http://www.tvcomm.co.uk/radio/live.html</a><br>
2) <a href="http://www.g4fui.net/meteors.html" target="_blank">http://www.g4fui.net/meteors.html</a><br><br>If anyone has any sighting of the TX via any mode (even ground wave or aircraft reflections!) then I'd be pleased to receive any reports.<br>
