Abstract
The phenomenon of radio propagation using meteor trails is reviewed. Underdense and overdense propagation mechanisms are described. The multipath and fading profile of the meteor channel is examined. Mechanisms other than meteor trails that are commonly observed on meteor links and can change the characteristics of the meteor communication channel are considered. These include sporadic-E propagation, auroral scatter, ionospheric scatter, diffraction, line-of-sight propagation, and tropospheric scatter.<>Keywords
