Hello Luca and all,
To begin with, everyone who asks questions about an event should post
them WELL IN ADVANCE because of forwarding delays. Your question arrived
here at the tail end of the Leonids, far too late for any reply to reach
you in a timely fashion. This reply will be similarly delayed,
compounding the problem.
For future reference, standard calling frequencies are used for any such
event. The band most used for meteor scatter is 6M because the
propagation lasts long enough to get in a quick exchange using normal
modes, most commonly CW and SSB. 2M is also used, but the "ping" is so
short as to make SSB useless and standard CW difficult. Super high speed
CW sent and received by computer at speeds in excess of 100WPM is the
preferred mode.
Calling frequencies are usually avoided by the wise operator because of
QRM. Stations should spread out as they normally do under any enhanced
propagation (DX) conditions to avoid QRM and confusion.
