[NLRS] Persieds Meteor Shower

[Jack]

I am considering the possibility of operating the Persieds shower, 
probably 8/10-11-12. I have a new M2 6M5XHP that I may build tomorrow 
but need some information.

First, It has been many years since I last operated MS seriously and 
have only played with MSK144 once or twice. Second, in our apartment 
environment I will be setting up the antenna outside our apartment 
shack, which faces southwest. I have no shot to the east for sunrise 
random meteors but can rotate the antenna (manually) from about 135 to 
270 degrees azimuth. I know the radiant in Perseus is very high (almost 
overhead) which brings me to my question. Given my antenna orienting 
constraints, what are going to be my best operating times and directions 
for this shower?

I am really limited to 6-meters, with the M2 Yagi and IC-7300. I have a 
2-meter Yagi but only the transverter output of 10-watts at this time so 
I doubt it would be worthwhile to do anything there. I must concentrate 
on a single band so feel 6 is my only choice.

Any input on my query would be appreciated.

73,

Jack, K0JP/VE3RUA (from EN18rn for the Persieds)
