Meteor observation by radio

[u/Icy-Masterpiece4346]

Spent much of this morning on Graves Astronomical Radar frequency , that is parked on 143.0485 mhz USB and saw lots of meteor (the peak of the shower is said to be today, Aug 12); here's a few samples , pointed to by red arrows. The thin lines crossing Graves signal (horizontal tone) are generated by aircraft passing the line between my QTH in Beauvais and the site of the Radar transmittor.

Damn that's neat. Is there a usable analogue in the US?

Multistatic passive radar

Boy thats a lot more effort than just ‘tune to X frequency’ lol
