(meteorobs) Radio Meteors - so far

Hello Observers:

 I had to get my cavity filter tuned up, it was off by 100 KHz, so now
it's back to it's old self. I'll have it checked once every 2-3 months to
be sure it is ok. Have no idea why it shifted that much.

 I enclose some April observations, but will send the same at end of month
if you wish after the Lyrids ect.

Clear skies...
