Yes. I will admit that this year activity has been very low to nill, but
in the past several other experianced meteor observers have noted radiants
in the A-T area. However, in non-outburst years, like the last few years,
the rates are barely detectable, and yes, chance aligments with sporadics
is always a problem then. We should look again next year for sure.
