VAL 202 from Nanos Slovenia on 95.3 mhz received in Ireland via meteor scatter during the Perseids meteor shower - August 13th 07, 1747 local time. Distance 1115 miles/ 1794 km.
Signal was being reflected by an ionised trail left by a meteor burning up in the atmosphere.
The station is identified by the unique PI code of 9202 which it broadcasts. This is the first part of RDS information to form so is very useful in identifying the source of short lived signals.
Receiver used was a Sony SB920 with a 4 element Yagi fed through a 20 db amp.
How long does usually the meteor scatter propagation last? I imagine that just a few seconds...
