An all‐sky, continuous wave radio meteor wind facility has been installed in Atlanta by the Georgia Institute of Technology under National Science Foundation sponsorship. A double sideband suppressed carrier CW transmitter, operating on 32.5 MHz±360 Hz, with an rms output of 2 kw, has been installed on the Georgia Tech campus, and a receiving site established at Technology Park/Atlanta, 27 km northeast of the campus. Details of the equipment, together with height/time profiles of mean wind circulation and tides between 80 and 100 km, measured from August 9 to September 4, 1974, are presented.
