Summary

The train at 6:15 was a beauty & finally nailed 103.7 - Brisbane QLD mixed 
with an UNID).

Trains at the peak of this shower are well down in number on the last 2 
years & of much shorter duration. This may indicate that the meteors are 
much slower in speed this year OR the radiant is different thus not 
relecting quite as well.
