Meteor Scatter Links - start points for a large body of Meteor, propagation, and operating information. Working DX on a Dead 50MHz Band Using Meteor Scatter - a real nice discussion of MS from the Six meter perspective. The RSGB, in their inimitably retentive style, has published a Meteor Scatter Operating Guide . Get used to it. K9SE propagation programs .
Meteors scatter is 'E' layer stuff.
Study 'E' propagation phenomenon. During the 6 meter E-skip season, all of those pages are full of 6 meter propagation alerts, messages, and other communications. Now that the 6 meter E-skip season is almost over, a few of we HSMS folks have taken to announcing our presence on those pages, usually first on the VHF Prop page, and then we QSY to the DX QSO Link page to await replies. The pages are a neat and fairly efficient way to set up impromptu skeds. To get an idea of how they are actually used, you can log into them and then, at the bottom of the displayed single lines of messages, you will find another link which will display the last 100 lines of messages for each page.
