(meteorobs) Radio Eta Aquarids update - Australia

Hello

I've updated my results to include today. The peak at around 18 - 19 
hrs UTC is still evident, however to add to Geoff's comment about 
increased activity later, there was another peak around 20 - 21 hrs 
UTC. The table below is formatted in UTC but I've thrown in my 
corresponding Local Time to help you orient the info with your local 
situation.

Just for the record, Geoff Wolfe is coincidentally at the other end 
of my "radio" line of sight... that is, we are covering the same 
ground (sky?) but from different ends. While my gear is now computer 
based, I do often listen to it via headphones and can confirm that 
there were some very long signals received this morning but 
unfortunately I don't keep records in that manner, though I hope to 
soon.

thanks
Bruce
