SARA held its 2nd meeting of 2019 on February 12. Pat (W5VY) gave an excellent presentation on using meteor scatter for ham radio communications. Basically, meteor- scatter work is performed by bouncing radio signals off the ionized trails produced by meteors burning through the ionosphere. Getting started in meteor scatter does not necessarily mean spending a large sum on extra equipment. In fact, you can use a homemade antenna similar to the one presented by Wayne at the January club meeting. If you want to find out more, this is a good place to start.
