MKARS - Club event,   'Meteor Scatter' by Martyn Baker G0GMB.

The National Museum of Computing

16th Jan, &#x27;Meteor Scatter&#x27; by Martyn Baker G0GMB. This is a talk at the TNMOC and will also be presented via Zoom.(MS) is the reflection of radio signals from the ionised trails from Meteors (Iron Rocks) burning up in the upper atmosphere. This effect can be used by radio amateurs to make contacts at distances of up to around 2,200km. Meteors burn up in the atmosphere at a height of between 90-105km. The ionised meteorite trail will reflect VHF/UHF radio signals, which would otherwise travel straight into Space. This allows us to make (very brief) contacts over huge distances normally considered impossible. Martyn will talk about the theory behind this and how to achieve this in practice, together with the software needed.Non members can join up to three sessions before becoming a member- MembershipMembership of the club is £25 per annum and gives you access to all the club events and activities.
