Hi to all.

Just on the topic of radiants and their diameters.  There has been a fair bit of talk on the size of radiants in the last week.

Would it be fair to say, if the meteor is further from the potential radiant the effective radiant size can be bigger for stream
identification and if the meteor is closer to the radiant the effective size of the radiant is reduced.

Just trying to get an idea here for myself and other list members.
