Listen to meteors, the moon and satellites

The RSP2 is a very sensitive VHF-receiver. Using the signals of the GRAVES RADAR near Dijon (France) on 143.050 (CW BW=750 or more) you can easily receive the echoes from meteors or even the moon.
I live about 450km away from the radar station and receive the signals with the RSP2 (GR:38dB, MW/FM-Filter:on) and a Discone antenna.
In the picture you can see two meteors (18:43:45 and 18:44:04) and the echoes of planes. The echoes of satellites tend to start a few 100Hz away from the mid-frequency (700Hz), echoes from the moon may be 300Hz away but I didn't see them yet.
