The Chinese believe that there could be a possible meteor shower on the
19th caused by the asteroid 1997 BR from approx. RA 12h Dec +65d.
I have been trying to detect them via radio at 83.25 MHz but there's
seems to be some type of interference and I am not sure if it is
Sporadic-E, can't get a reply from anyone if it is or is not.
I did pick out the following meteors today July 18th:
1000-1100 UT 7/hr
1100-1200 7
1200-1300 10
1300-1400 5
1400-1500 4
