The Arietid and zeta Perseid showers are considered to be among the best 
showers of the year for radio observers. In fact, both showers were discovered by 
radio observers using the Jodrell Bank radio telescope in England in 1947 . 
The month of June comes to an end with another daytime meteor shower, the beta 
Taurids, which peak around June 29 with as many as 25 meteors per hour. All in 
all, June seems to be the best month of the year to be a radio meteor observer.
This story explains how one Ham listens to them.
