UK Meteor Radar Project

Hello Dave. The CW is generated by PIC using it's internal oscillator it was not intended as a precision timing system but merely to meet the OFCOM requirement that it identify. Frankly this requirement is a bit of a nuisance. Phase II of this project is to develop and deploy multiple receivers to f...

When we were testing the proof of concept Web RX system I saw echoes from BRAMS VVS on 49.440 and our test beacon which was then at Andy's location ( G4JNT ). So I expect we will see quite a few coincident echoes with the Belgium beacons and a few ...

The meteor beacon status page is back on line. Brian

The beacon is currently ON despite the ukmeteorbeacon.org/status page being blank. The reason for this will be investigated but in the mean time please listen for it and pings and send any spectrograms to me if you can.

From N Wiltshire a simple half wave dipole should be effective both with the beacon on test from NW Hampshire and when it's installed at Sherwood. A refinement might be a 2 element Yagi or a Moxon pointed towards the beacon and elevated. Elevation as well as improving the strength of echoes will red...

Hello Folks The beacon will be operating from my home location, 51d14m 53.1s N , 1d 34m 15.6s W IO91FF19 as an attended beacon, under the terms of my licence. This means I need to switch it OFF if I am away from the site. I will also be taking it out of service from time to time so I can work on it ...
