(meteorobs) Weekend Sporadics Meteors Radio Detection

[Raydel Abreu (CM2ESP)]

Well Thanks Michael,

Now i see what could i expect, i am receiving during the late evening an
average of 1 or 2 by hour, it will be nice to try with a yagi during day,
but right now i'm quite busy with work, i have to wait to the weekend.

See you,

Raydel
