(meteorobs) Leonids Radio Meteors

Hi Folks, 

At 98.5 MHz/FM, the Leonid shower has so far been a real attention getter.
Many events have had high signal amplitudes, but being mixed with more
numerous low level signals has resulted in an estimated overall average
rating of a high medium level. That is on a basis of Low-Medium-High.

The Overdense events have been numerous and awesome in their variety. Most
noticeable are the occasions when two or three loud transmitter outputs
are mixed together for many seconds. This is frustating, for one knows
that several weak underlying events are being over written and lost to
tabulation. There were periods when this condition was almost continuous.

Well, here are some dates, times and numbers:
