In the past couple months, I've tried using the FM Stellar Labs yagi mounted in my backyard on a tripod aiming straight up at the sky, and it's yielded some good results for meteor scatter. It has helped lower my noise floor significantly despite being 1.6 miles and 2.0 miles from the nearby FM broadcast towers here in Akron. I also believe that aiming the antenna straight up has helped capture more meteor scatter bursts. With the technology now, using SDR Console and the FM autologger, it helps make meteor scatter easier than ever. I simply just park the SDR on about 10 open frequencies and hope that RDS decodes on any of them while away. Here is a list of the meteor scatter logs I've received in the past couple months of doing this (September & October)...
