Here is a report on this year's Leonids from long-time
observer, Shelby Ennis, a radio "ham" in Kentucky
who listens to meteor showers by way of radio signals
reflected off the ionization trails left behind by meteors
(radio scatter). -- joe r.
Don't know how the Leonids were, but no evidence of them here.
Monitored 144 before & shortly after the predicted peak time. Also
watching the PJ Web page. Think I had 2 pings in that time! The
reports on the PJ page were "worse than a typical random night." Not
many people on the air. Went to bed.
Things might have been a little better Sun morning, maybe around 1500 Z
or so, but not many reports and they weren't very good. Consensus seems
to be that they were very poor this year.
