[GCARC] Chance of showers (meteor shower for scatter, that is!)

[Jim n2gxj]

Ever wonder what that MSK144 mode in WJST is for?
Might want to leave it running on RX, on 6 meters or 2 meters overnight
Friday into Saturday, to see if will catch anything.
Why?
Leonids.
As described at spaceweather.com,
https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=17&month=11&year=2022
The shower's nominal peak on Nov. 17th is expected to produce no more than
15 meteors per hour. *But! There is a chance of a surprise*. Some
forecasters believe <https://www.imo.net/resources/calendar/#Leonids> that
Earth might graze a 300-year-old stream of debris on *Nov. 19th*, producing
an outburst of 50 to 200 meteors per hour. Its timing favors observers in
the eastern half of North America, who should be alert for meteor activity
this Saturday morning between *1:00 and 1:30 am EST*.

Good luck anyone who tries!
