Radio Meteor Observations

The society also has links to members observatories near Lincoln. The 'Swallowbeck Observatory' runs a radio meteor set up 24/7. On this page is live information from that observatory.The observatory has been running since August 2020. Before this it was located in Hykeham, about half a mile away. 

The images are the doppler frequency and amplitude vs time of the ionised trail left by a meteor in the upper atmosphere.There are two radios running. Both receive signals using the GRAVES transmitter in France. The -10 dB antenna plot for this system meets the height of the ionised area above Lincoln. North-South it covers from York to Northampton. East-West from Dublin to the equivalent distance from Lincoln in the North Sea.

For results from the south facing system please follow this link.South Facing System
