  What a coincidence, my friend just posted this about 10 minutes after you 
did

If you want to see them, get up early and hope for clear skies.  If you want 
to hear them, you might want to
use the higher bands, 6m and such!

LEONID METEOR SHOWER:  The Leonid meteor shower peaks on Tuesday, Nov. 17th, 
with a new Moon providing ideally-dark viewing conditions.  Forecasters 
expect a relatively mild display (20 to 30 meteors per hour) over North 
America followed by a much stronger outburst (100 to 300 per hour) over 
Asia.  No matter where you live, the best time to look is during the dark 
hours before sunrise on Tuesday morning.

live audio from a meteor radar, a live chat with a NASA meteor scientist, 
sky maps, photos and more.
