(meteorobs) Radio Eta Aquarids - Australia

Hello

Well here are my radio observations of the last 5 days. There seems 
to have been a nice peak at around 18 - 19 hrs UTC on the 5th 
(locally around 4 am on the 6th). The table below is formatted in UTC 
but I've thrown in the corresponding Local Time to help you orient 
the info with your local situation.

I'm not sure why I always get a small peak around 10 pm local time. I 
only receive from a single station so I would expect that there will 
be radiant position effects, with respect to the direction of the 
transmitter I'm tuned into, buried in the data.

thanks
Bruce
