(meteorobs) Re: possible meteor outburst or shower going on

[Christian Steyaert]

As apparently no other 'radio person' replied yet, have a look at Pierre 
Terrier's 'Radio Meteor Observatories On Line':

         http://radio.data.free.fr/main.php3

Plenty of confirmation of the high activity around 9h UT by European 
observers Algeciras, Swan, Smith, Entwistle.

The fact that Jeff Brower in Canada doesn't have noticeable increased 
activity might point to non-Ursids activity (radiant not above the horizon 
for him, the Ursids are circumpolar)?
