New participant here...... 

If anyone is interested in radio observation, I have turned my feed 
on and will leave it on for the next day or two. 

http://www.pgoelz.com/radiometeor_livefeed.html 

This is an audio feed from a receiver in the north suburbs of Detroit 
Michigan (USA) tuned to 55.249 MHz plus a spectrogram of the received 
audio.  I have left the spetrogram scroll rate relatively slow (5 
seconds per division) to give a better picture of the average rate.
