I will cover a little bit about what meteors are why it is useful to detect them. I will then discuss how radio can be used to detect meteors entering the atmosphere, how we can use the Graves 2m radio signals to detect them and finally cover the BAA sponsored 6m Meteor Beacon project including how it works, what we are currently doing with it and where we hope to go next.
