[SixClub] WSJT - Meteor Bounce Comms on 6M? [Was: Understanding SIX]

[John Geiger]

Meteor scatter is very practical on 6 meters.  It is being done daily, and 
you can usually do SSB on random meteors as well  As for airplane scatter, 
it can probably be done.  Never heard of it being done on 6m.  CQ had an 
article about doing it on 432 a couple of years ago.
