@va3db @VE2UWY @zazzoo The ionized trail itself is not moving especially fast, which is what is used for communication.

@va3db @zazzoo setting this up is easy if you can do FT8 or WSPR already, and have something as simple as a dipole for 6m. Run wsjt-x in msk144 mode overnight during this weekend and see if you catch anything. I just set this up last night and it worked. Note that signals closer than 500km are probably not MS.

@va3db @zazzoo and btw, this was with no pre-amp, and a dipole for a different band.

@VE2UWY @va3db @zazzoo I haven’t listened to a repeater like that but now I will try it. I’m no expert in meteor scatter but AFAIK the Doppler shift is within the pass band overall - there is spread, possibly similar to aurora. Btw I don’t know if people realize there is measurable Doppler on HF skip, especially during solar events, when the ionospheric layers change in height.
