Start with the practical answer: Meteor scatter uses brief ionized trails to reflect VHF signals over beyond-line-of-sight paths; timing, frequency, high-speed digital protocols, accurate clocks, suitable antennas, and patient scheduling are central.
What changes the result
Unusual VHF/UHF paths depend on geometry, frequency, polarization, terrain or moving/atmospheric scatterers, time, and receiver sensitivity.
The mistake to avoid
A temporary opening or one favorable location is not normal guaranteed coverage, and more power may not solve a deep geometric null.
Use this operating sequence
Use path and propagation tools, synchronize time where required, aim and polarize correctly, log conditions, and compare controlled changes over multiple attempts.
Source boundary
Current controlled CKB RF engineering, VHF/UHF, operating, and diagnostic references. Confirm current local coordination, band plans, satellite data, and equipment documentation before operating.
