Topband: A midsummer nights contest

[Mike Waters]

I've had QSOs via MS (meteor scatter) on the low end of 2 meters. But MS on
160 meters?

What was your antenna, and what direction were you listening?

At
https://sites.google.com/site/sjwamback/highfrequencymeteorscatterradioastronomy
they state:

"It is the contention and major hypothesis of the authors of this page that
Meteor Scatter Radio Wave Propagation occurs at frequencies that are much
lower than previously thought and that radio signal propagation is even
MORE enhanced in the HF (High Frequency) and possibly even LOWER frequency
portions of the Electromagnetic Spectrum."

I didn't see what sort of antenna (or acreage) is needed for that.


There's also a 1983 QST article at

Has any amateur ever observed this on (for example) AM BCB carriers or
aircraft beacons, etc. below 2 MHz? ;-)
