The peak of the 2011 Quadrantids was expected to occur over Europe. By
the time the radiant had reached sufficient elevation to observe from
North American longitudes, it was clear that rates had in fact declined.
A total of twelve observers submitted Quadrantid observations over the
two day period of January 3rd and 4th. These observers included:

Salvador Aguirre, United States
Mark Davis, United States
Bill Godley, United States
Paul Jones, United States
Javor Kac, Slovenia
Paul Martsching, United States
Ann Mounce, United States
David Oesper, United States
Wesley Stone, United States
David Swann, United States
Richard Taibi, United States
Harry Waldron, United States

These observers reported 18.27 hours of observations, recording the
following meteors:
