Hello,
I just would like to inform that:

mailed to those who have subscribed MSDATA, via my mailing list, and is=20
visible on my web site's index page. Some of the e-mails have bounced and=20
addresses with no known user have been removed, so please, if you want to=20
continue your subscription, send me you new e-mail address.

some discrepancies fixed. All of them were sent with e-Aqu file.

- MS-Softs (v 4.4 & 5.1 and VM-Soft 4.4) have been uploaded today.


The VHF band MS-DATA receiving system has been recording major shower=20
activity since early 1993 and continuously (24 by 7) since September 1993,=

first on one frequency, later on two frequencies near, or on the CCIR FM=20
broadcast band. Additional equipment for Auroral propagation correlation=20
includes 144 MHz receiver for SK4MPI beacon's (maintained by SM4HFI) back=20
scatter signals and X&Y dual channel magnetometer, which both's data is=20
stored along the meteor data by a PC computer.

Since March 1995 the meteoric data covers:

-  61 543 hours   (~2560 days =3D 7 years)

-  24 706 150  counted reflections ( 24 millions...)

-  4 035.6 hours (5=BD months) of elapsed reflection time  (average duration=
=20
of 0.588 seconds)

stored on HD with 10 minute time resolution.


This effort is part of NASA/Seti Global MS-Net by Dr. P. Jenniskens.
