Meteor scatter is most effective on what band?
- A40 metres
- B15 metres
- C160 metres
- D6 metres
Correct answer: D — 6 metres. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Meteor scatter works best on the 6 metres band because the ionized trails left by burning meteors are most effective at reflecting radio waves in the very high frequency range, which includes 6 metres. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
