Abstract: The Small Phase Array DEmonstrator is a solar radio instrument being built in the Humain Radio-Astronomy Station by the Royal Observatory of Belgium. Although its main goal is performing solar radio observations in the frequency range of 20 – 80 MHz, observing radio meteors using the Belgian Radio Meteor Stations (BRAMS) beacon based on forward-scatter techniques is possible. In this work we present some preliminary results towards its first light.
