   I succesfully completed a four-night, 10 1/2 hr run with the Geminids 
last night, uder clear skies.  I observed while the radiant was rising, from 
09:00 to 12:00 local time.  The rates were:
Period 1 (2-3 UT)  41 GEMs
Period 2 (3-4 UT)  63 GEMs
Period 3 (4-5 UT)  70 GEMs

Most impressive were the numbers of bright meteors!  Here's a magnitude 
summary of the entire evening's session, showing the brighter members 
observed:
2:00 -5:00 UT
   -7(1)   -5(1) -3(2) -2(7) -1(10) 0(11)

I should have the complete report later this evening.
