You don't have to wait for the #Perseids meteor shower to peak to have some meteor scatter fun! You have a good chance of making MS QSO's a few days before and after the peak. The best time to do this is during the early morning hours. I just made simultaneous MS QSO's on 2m and 6m with the same station (WA4CQG, 821mi/1313km) using MSK144 on 144.150 MHz and 50.260 MHz. #hamradio #AmateurRadio #hamr #MeteorScatter

This image shows you why it's called meteor *scatter*. My beams are pointed at 225 degrees (SW), yet my signals bouncing of the meteor trails are heard in many directions. A tool like https://swan.ms/ can be very helpful to help you find where to aim your signal for maximum effectiveness. (Aim perpendicular to the meteor trails). #hamradio #AmateurRadio #hamr
