I guess "unpublished work" for now, and point to the URL.  I may polish 
it up a bit more and submit it (and perhaps my meteor-scatter paper
  from last summer) to the SARA journal.

Keep in mind that this current paper, and the meteor-detector paper from 
last summer, are not RTLSDR specific -- I've used both USRPs
  and RTLSDR dongles in this work.  The USRPs give somewhat superior 
results, but for a small school on a budget, it would be hard to
  pass up having a handful of RTLSDR dongles lying around...
