| Abstract | Science goals of the Meteor Scatter QSO Party (MSQP) include testing the wavelength dependence of the amplitude and duration of the scattered meteor signals. This tutorial will describe the characteristics of the meteor “pings” and how they vary with wavelength of the radio frequency signals. The sources of the meteoroids, their physical characteristics, and the importance of scattering geometry will be described. The use of the WSJT-X MSK144 mode for meteor scatter communications and collection of data during the MSQP will also be discussed. |
