Hello everyone:

 

I've been getting into SDR radio astronomy the last few months and with the Quadrantids coming up I wanted to try my hand at radio meteor detection. However, I'm quite confused with regard to what frequencies I should be monitoring. I'm in southern California. Almost all the tutorials I've seen are either geared toward the UK, or suggest looking for specific empty FM bands or TV channels. However, being near Los Angeles I have strong local transmissions at nearly every "standard" frequency I've seen recommended for this purpose. Has anyone successfully done radio meteor detection from this area in the last ~10 years?

I see you also asked the question on CN so hopefully you will get help locally. If not then it would be worth while contacting a Radio Amateur group to see if they can help with frequencies . Usually someone in a Radio Society has been or is active in meteor detection so can advise on the setup to use.
