[VHFcontesting] "Virgo" Radio Meteor Scatter Aid now in Stand-Alone Version

[Les Rayburn]

Sabine, DL1DBC and author of the “Virgo” meteor scatter radar page respond to my plea for help in getting this Java based, web application to run last night. He announced that Alexander, DL8AAU, and Bastian, DB1BM, made a redesign of the software and it is now available in a standalone version. It can be downloaded here:

It runs perfectly on my Windows 10 64 bit machine. YMMV. No joy on my MacBook Pro so far. 

All you need to do is enter your Maidenhead Grid Square in six-digits, and the software will show you the direction of the radiant for all currently active meteor showers. It also has some great real-time data about rates, etc. Wonderful tool for those chasing meteor scatter DX. Highly recommended! Thanks to Sabine, Alexander, and Bastian for their hard work on this.
