(meteorobs) radio observations during enhanced meteor activity
Hi Tom,
thanks for reporting your radio observations to us!

I think this shows quite clear, that we can't rely on radio observations
for the 98/99 Leonid maximums. If the 'big bang' really happens, all radio
systems will probably be completely saturated. Wasn't it the same problem
back in 1966?
Any idea how to overcome the fault? Any experiences how to cope with that
type of saturation from the AMS Radiometeor experts?
