After a bit more research I have found a way of doing this without a
radio!
=20
=20
This is an online version of what I described, - it is a realtime audio
stream of a meteor radar Courtesy of Nasa.
=20
http://science.nasa.gov/audio/meteor/forward-scat2.m3u (Or see
http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/nasameteorradar.html for full
details)
=20
I have also discovered a neat program that uses the soundcard to analyse
the Pings produced by a radio at
http://sapp.telepac.pt/coaa/r_meteor.htm Although the 'download link'
doesn't always work It did eventually!, but if anyone wants the trial
version and the link doesn't work, I can email it to them (contact me
off list).
=20
If you start the realtime audio running on your computer from the link
at the top, then run the software at the same time, it will actually
analyse the realtime data since it is playing from your sound card.
=20
Now you can hear what meteors sound like!

Cheers,
