FM Meteor Scatter Hessen Germany To Ireland

87.6 Hessischer Rundfunk 3, Biedenkopf, received via meteor scatter. 13-8-07, 1613 local time, during the perseids meteor shower.

Distance 708 miles / 1139 km.

Signal was reflected by an ionised trail left by a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere.

The station was identified by the unique PI code of D363 which it broadcasts. This is the first part of RDS information to form so is very useful in identifying the source of short lived FM signals.

The classical music station heard toward the end of the meteor "ping" is probably BR3 from Dillberg in Bavaria, Germany.

Receiver used was a Sony SB920 with a 4 element Yagi fed through a 20 db amp
