I stayed up all night for this one. I knew right from the beginning
there was not going to be any outside observation as it was completely
cloud covered. So I set up my station for the audio show. After a lot
of Web searching I found bits and pieces of what I would need to know
to listen in.
The best I found, and I'm sure there was more to be found, was at
61.26 MHz. At this frequency I could hear the meteors whistle as
backscatter/forward scatter from a meteor observers signal. I have
lots of audio recordings starting before Midnight and going on through
6am (EST). I was also going to set up my tv on a blank channel and
record that, and forgot to start the recorder.

On topic --- I didn't use my R-390A since it is off the bench and
waiting to be sold.
