Despite favourable antenna geometry on October 6, between 19 and 24 hours
UT, no enhanced activity detected on 143.050 MHz. Practically the same
activity as on October 5, in the same period. Also no enhanced activity of
stronger reflections.

Adding one more hour at the same frequency: 
nothing exceptional. Maybe a little increase of 'larger' meteors around
22h00 UT, needing confirmation.
