Hi Everyone

My FM Tuner recordings of persistant trains (forward scatter) during the
Leonids meteor shower are now available online for free download. Note that
these mp3s are encoded at 320k bitrate for high quality, so the files are
quite large (usually 6 - 11mb). I recommend broadband internet access for
these.

It will give you an Australian perspective of the Leonids : )

Highlights are from 1998 - 2006. I hope you will really enjoy these. Some
are even in STEREO. Some trains even have a dopple whistle at the start. The
Leonids of 2001 produced quite a few of these.

HeHe - I hope you like classical music! I used a distant ABC Classic FM
transmitter for monitoring. In some cases I ran 2 or 3 tuners in parallel to
capture the trains on more than one frequency.

Please email me privately for any comments.
Much Thanks to Chris Mackerell in New Zealand for hosting these.

BTW - To Thomas Ashcraft
One reflection on your Leonid recordings (99.1 with Classical) is sounds
more like Aircraft scatter as I recognise the phasing/fading pattern just
before it faded). 99.1 came up real clear & stable. Please tell me if I'm
wrong of course!
