Abstract
Several point-to-point systems have demonstrated successful communications while employing propagation via meteor trail reflections at very high frequencies. However, few systems have been able to control the output error rate in the presence of sporadic 
and auroral phenomenon. Nevertheless, early results clearly indicated the strong potential of the meteor mode for extremely reliable communications over ranges (1300 miles) far in excess of existing military airborne UHF equipment. A test system is described which has been developed at Hughes Aircraft Company, Culver City, Calif. under Air Force contract AF33
