Hi Mike,
Have you identified your 83.25 MHz transmitter? Am wondering if the
transmitter you are tuned to is a full-time transmitter? If a transmitter
doesn't have a daily/regular schedule and a consistent wattage output then
it can't be used to establish background sporadic patterns for data
purposes.
Each morning you should at least be getting a certain amount of meteors
before and after sunrise. Dawn sporadic reception is the best test of your
radio meteor telescope.
