If you have a wire dipole and want to study a particular area of the sky, you can position it correctly and the make a director element 10% shorter than the dipole and a reflector 10% longer and position them in a Yagi array, the extra elements do not need to be connected to the dipole and will provide a directional quality to your antenna. Any ham radio site should give you the corect spacings for the additional 2 elements.

I saw an episode of Sky At Night when they were looking out for Leonids, and they had a couple of guys with a radio set-up that would ping whenever a meteor was passing.

I'd love to be able to do that if you could point me in the right direction. (I am a complete newb, so the more basic the better!)

I saw that as well. Certainly less reliant on the weather.

I'd like to give that a go...
