Tracking Aircraft with the Meteor Fence

The antenna has been changed to a ham disk cone with much better results (see thumbnail). There are 4 neighboring radio stations (near the frequency) all located in Southern Ontario. All are located some 300KM from me. 106.3 is local in Saginaw as a control. I am at the fringe of the range of that station. We are picking up aircraft on the Owen's Sound frequency. You can check position of aircraft in real time over Lake Huron and Ontario using this software.... https://planefinder.net/ Look at Lake Huron and you can see Owen's Sound, when aircraft are WSW of OS, you see the long trace on the meteor fence. I am streaming the live flight tracker on discord. You can identify the aircraft making the trace by drawing a line from Mt. Pleasant to the broadcasting station, there will be a plane along that line. The principle of the fence is rather straight forward. There are a series of over the horizon fm radio stations, I cannot read the signals to those stations directly. But when a meteor passes overhead I can see them briefly and record a trace. Specifically a sharp, vertical green or yellow line and there is a spike in the wavelength. Imagine a searchlight over the horizon from you. It may be very powerful, but due to the curvature of the earth we can not see it. However if an aircraft at great height flies between us and the searchlight (or just past it) and is illuminated by the searchlight, we CAN see the plane. As a meteor rips through the upper atmosphere at a height of 60-100 miles, it leaves a trail of ionized gases that persist briefly. Those gases reflect the radio signals and I receive them with my directional antenna. They appear as strong vertical lime green lines that stand out from the background 'snow'. The fuzzy horizontal lines are atmospheric, the meteors and bright and sharp vertical lines. If you would like a more detailed explanation with examples see https://youtu.be/jpcn_G7LTHE This presentation is not a discussion, it simply gives the same raw data I see for you to observe yourself. I'll be making a presentation video on the meteor fence going over all this on ResearchFlatMoon in the coming week. I'll stream the fence from evening to morning, as meteors are most frequent from Midnight to about 11 or 12 later that morning (why? does it have to do with the rotation and orbit of the earth???). Later I will stream the two radio telescopes in the Shamrock Banks Observatory for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
