Does meteor scatter occur at 28MHz?
 

Does meteor scatter occur at 28MHz, or is it reserved for VHF and up?

During this weekend's 10 meter contest, weak signals would occasionally
become much stronger, but only for about a second.

Was I hearing the effect of meteor scatter, some other propagation
effect, or a loose connection at the antenna (there was a blizzard
raging at the time)?

Well,

I suppose there is some effect at longer wavelengths given that 6
meters and 10 meters are pretty close. However, any number of things
could be responsible for what you where hearing. Given a blizzard and
strong winds, I'd be more inclined to think it was related to static
charge buildup on your antenna system, a loose connection someplace or
maybe something else blowing around.

Is this the first time you noticed this? Do you operate on 10 Meters
much?

Absolutely, there's meteor scatter on 10 meters.
