Can you help find this frequency broadcaster to confirm meteors?
Currently I am listening using hsdr in cw mode to a frequency of 57.6 Mhz, just offset by about 4khz.
It sits about -65db on HDSR and is very constant. Intermittently I see a power rise pulse across the carrier.
It does vary in size and occurrance. I have yet to find the broadcaster location, but suspect it to be over a north mountain range about 400km away?.
I am now using this antenna
Cometal rough-dressler-antena, with a minikits powered LNA this one powered with 5vdc,
PGA-103 Low Noise Amp 0.05-3GHz
- PGA Option1: PGA-103 B-ENC ( Buil..
- PGA Option2 ( For Built Products Only ): PGA-103 mounted near..
I can post a few images and a small sound file, would like your opinion on it.
I have set hdsr to the carrier frequency and use an audio notch at 1000hz to blank the signal. The event overcomes this notch either side of 1000hz.
I have also set the squelch to blank noise levels. An event over comes this also.
This allows hdsr to be left in audio record mode for a long time, as only events the break over these two settings are recorded. usually about a few seconds worth of audio, a ping and fading noise.
I did see a large event that saturated the levels, and a small one that barely registered .
Also an event that seemed connected to a local helicopter passing across the north of my location.
I use a second sdr to locate asdb aircraft pings , but not sure about relating these to events as yet....
some example at this link,

The first section is noise, carrier, notch level then, pings across about an hour...
Kind regards, Alan.
