Abstract
The technique of using ionized meteor “trails” to reflect (or re-radiate) radio signals in the VHF spectrum has been known for fifty years or more. This phenomenon is referred to in the text as meteor burst communications (MBC). The development of the microprocessor and other solid state devices during the 70’s has made the use of these physical phenomena both practical and useful.
