Lyrids MS on 6m

The next few days sees the peak of the Lyrids MS shower.  I am not sure which mode is the best for MS on 6m. 

FT8 was chosen and I shall remain on 6m FT8 RX overnight using the FT817ND and V2000 vertical omni. Within a few minutes several stations were spotted with the furthermost EI4DA (578km), although I am not sure of the propagation mechanism.

    I have monitored using MSK144 on 6m in the past, and have had some mild success hearing meteor scatter stations.. It’s another mode in the WSJT suite.

    There’s a brand new mode in the latest WSJT suite called Q65 that might interest you too -the latest RadCom has some details in the VHF/UHF column.
