I’m hoping that someone with more experience with meteor scatter communications
can answer a question that has been bugging me. Is there any benefit to angling
a Yagi upwards from a horizontal mounting position, say 10-15 degrees for MS
contacts? I’ve heard some old timers swear that it seems to result in a longer
“ping” or reflection period. Others say it makes little or no difference.
Geometry wasn’t my best subject. :-)
Can anyone speak to this with authority and/or anecdotal evidence? Thanks for
your expertise in advance.
