Jeff,

There is a company called Boltek ( www.boltek.com
<http://www.boltek.com/> ) that make a 'PC Lightning detector ' that
actually plots thunderstorms on a map, it listens on a radio receiver
and depending on the direction and strength of the signal (which is a '
spike') it plots the storm on a map. A similar approach could be applied
to meteors I am sure. But the key is that the distant station you are
listening to , would be coming from one direction so you would need few
distant radio stations. North South East and West of you, to get
complete coverage...

This is very interesting Mark. Thanks for sharing it with the list.
Imagine if there was a large network of people doing this. Do you think
that people from various locations could operate on a syncronised time
and the time difference between the large pings could be used to
triangulate the exact location of a fall?!? Food for thought.
