Subject: (meteorobs) Three questions

Greetings. I have three hopefully easy questions. Any help appreciated.

1. What is the formula for determining solar longitude?

2. What is the predicted maximum date of the 1996 June Arietid daytime
meteor shower? 

The 1996 IMO calendar lists the maximum as June 7:   
Shower           Activity           Max date     
Arietids         May 22-Jul 02      Jun 07 

But Gary Kronk's home page says the Arietids maximum date as June 8/9.     
>>>... Arietids:   This is the strongest daylight meteor shower of the
year. The duration extends from May 22 to July 2, with maximum activity
occurring on June  8 (Solar Longitude=3D76.8 deg)....<<< 

3. The only radio meteor observers I am aware of are those connected with
the Radio Meteor Observer's Bulletin (RMOB).   Are there other radio
observers out there?  Are there any professional radio meteor
observatories--anywhere in the world? 

Thanks in advance for any info.
