(meteorobs) Leonid outburst in a few hours?

[karl.antier at laposte.net]

Hi Jean-Louis,

OK, no worry as long as it's drinking for science! 
You should ask for a Belgium pint: the bier is good, and the volume is a bit higher than the British one (for people using non-anglo-saxon units, the pint volume is rounded to 50 cl, when it is 47 cl for a real pint volume)!
Outburst should be not far from peakin now, if predictions are correct...

Hi Karl

The Belgian BRAMS network (http://brams.aeronomie.be/) is recording 
radio pings 24/7.

So do I also, here near Paris, recording the BRAMS 49 MHz beacon meteor 
pings, but recording also at the same time the german VLF transmitter 
DHO38 signal, to search for any VLF propagation disturbances which could 
be triggered by meteors.
The price to get access to my precious data is one pint of ale, as usual 
(a British pint, not a US pint which is 20% smaller).

Jean-Louis
