    I have had my home radio detector running since the Geminids, but the 
last two days the reception has gone to pot and I have no meaningful data. 
Too bad, I had hoped to monitor the predicted outburst of Ursids, but no 
luck.

    I did monitor the shower on my car radio while observing last night, 
several hours before the max. It seemed there was a fairly decent number of 
"hits".
