[Meteor-Scatter] Re: Leonids peak 2003 - Main dust stream component

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 20:27:33 +0000

Was there a peak... I sure didn't find it. There were moment with 'higher'
meteor activity amd some long reflections but I can't say that I found a
peak at any time.

Heard some good reflections on 432MHz from DF5JJ at about 0530 on the 19th
but unformtunately we did not complete.

As for todays aurora, yes there was a peak... worked a bunch of stations on
direct path aurora (az 220-230 deg) starting at 1447GMT. Best distance was
G4FUF, 1992km, thanks Keith!
